Chiara Boschis - E Pira Barolo Cannubi Organic, Magnum 2018 150cl
£183.05
Immediately evocative of Burgundy in both appearance and aroma: transparent red, with a lilting perfume of strawberries, tilled soil, pot pourri, cherry pie, Turkish delight and just a hint of hot Tarmac after a summer rain shower In the mouth, it's much bigger and more powerful than either the nose or appearance suggest Big, chewy tannins, and flavours of white chocolate, leather, university library and new oak Fabulous potential, but demands time in which to achieve it

£77.04
The glorious Barolo Castelletto Pressenda 2017 is a beautiful expression of this sun-drenched vintage Its deep ruby colour is just starting to show the brick rim of maturity, and the nose is brim-full of red cherry, cranberry and dried cherry, overlaid with luxurious white chocolate As inviting as the aromas are, they don't quite prepare you for the extraordinarily succulent, deep palate, redolent of deep, gorgeous ripe fruit, with supremely velvety texture This is absolutely, completely, 100% delicious to start drinking now, and it should remain fabulous for at least the next 8-10 years A special Barolo from the Pressenda vineyard, originally planted in 1969, in the Cru of Castelletto and the village of Monteforte d'Alba The site has a south-eastern aspect, and lies at an elevation of 350-370 metres
Conterno Fantino Barolo, Mosconi Vigna Ped 2017 75cl
£87.72
A wine of serious concentration and structure, this has an immediately complex and intense nose of both fresh and dried cherry, cranberry, toasted oak, iron, liquorice, star anise and vanilla The flavours in the mouth are every bit as complex - rosehips, black and red liquorice and a rich, chocolatey character This has loads of energy and vivacity that makes it tempting to drink now, as well as the structure to age gracefully
