Tapanappa Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2024

Tapanappa Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2024

Citrus tang, quince, touch of leesy curds in the background. Palate is chock full of stonefruit, grapefruit acidity, quince. 

There's a lovely unison between integrated oak - giving some foundation for the wine - and acid tension, giving flow and length. 

It feels incredibly at ease with itself, a delight to drink now, yet also provides graceful nods towards what might lay ahead. 93 Now to 2034

Capitel Croce (Cross Capital), 100% Gargenaga from Anselmi in the Veneto (North-east Italy). 

Light straw, both a colour observation and aromatic reflection. Yellow nectarine, white florals, blanched almond. 

It's the palate that works wonders, with layers of Meyer lemon, vanilla, stonefruit - cascading across the palate. Has a stonefruit kernel phenolic bitterness, adding depth. Lovely savoury intent here. 93

Mezzacorona Maso di Mezzo Pinot Grigio 2023

Mezzacorona Maso di Mezzo Pinot Grigio 2023

  13:20    Stu.

Lovely deep colour, almost like the yellow nectarine of which it's redolent. 

It's still got a lovely crispness to the back end, and a long flourish to its finish. 

Fig, green olive in the mix too good all round package. 90, bordering on 91.
