Second Wine from Top Labels

Le Cupole IGT Tenuta di Trinoro 2016

Bramble and cherry meld with cedar and ferrous minerals here to form an impeccably balanced, benchmark, accessible Saint Emilion, candied fruit supported by supple, ripe tannins - luscious and inviting.

Annonce de Belair-Monange Grand Cru St-Emilion 2018

Black cherry and fine smokiness on the nose, with quite beautiful violet perfume. With more time in the glass, the aromas become more red-fruited and open - very 2015, very accessible. Finely textured on the fore-palate, with charming soft, silkily giving blackcurrant fruit, offset by a detailed tannic framework. You feel this gives a glimpse of what the grand vin might achieve in the future. A showstopper!
