Kir Yianni Le Nord Assyrtiko 2020, I.G.P. Florina

Château De Malle 2005, Ac Sauternes, 2e Cru (375ml)

Taittinger Prestige Brut Rosé Champagne, Ac

Fresh and light but frankly a little lacking in flavour. Quite overpriced, considering what can be had for much less.

Donatella Cinelli Colombini Rosso Di Montalcino 2015, Doc

Il Molino Di Grace Chianti Classico 2015, Docg Tuscany

Very well made wine, with evident fruit and judicious use of wood. The November 2021 release uses a different label from the original release, but appears to be the same wine, (though now 20% more expensive). Terrific value for money nonetheless, and well-suited to case buying.

Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello Di Montalcino 2013, Docg

Tastes like quality: quite deliciously silky, with lots of fruit, some characteristic sangiovese herbs and leather, and a long finish. Ready for drinking now, (summer 2021), and excellent value for money.

Antinori Pian Delle Vigne Rosso Di Montalcino 2016, Doc

Pretty good value for money, but it pales in comparison with the Brunello. Very quaffable and reliable, a suitable wine for stocking up.

Le Fraghe Rodòn Chiaretto 2017, Bardolino

Ama Chianti Classico 2016, Docg, Tuscany

Rich and luscious stewed red fruit, with a slightly volatile finish. Evidently high quality wine and at a very attractive price.

Le Fonti Di Panzano Chianti Classico 2016, D.O.C.G. Chianti Classico

Very fruity and quite silky, with noticeable vegetal quality expected from sangiovese. Pretty good value for money.
