527. Joseph Drouhin, Beaune Clos des Mouches, 2002
One of the potential highlights of my WSET prize case, but sadly for its vintage, it wasn’t showing at its best, I suspect, because …
526. Cartuxa, Évora, 2006
We actually (by accident) had both the 2007 (13.5% ABV) and the 2006 (14.5%) on the same evening, as we finished off the Hotel’s …
525. Esporão, Alentejo Reserva, 2006
Another wine enjoyed over dinner in Avis, and another quasi-local one as well, from Alentejo. Came across as lighter than the 2003 Mouchão, though …

519. Fattoria La Peschiera, Morellino di Scansano, 2004
I’d heard good things about the Morellino DOC, so when I spotted one in the Italian local to Chemistry, I thought I’d give it …
518. Podere Vecciano, Sangiovese Montetauro Emilia-Romagna, 2008
Daniele brought a couple of bottles of this from near his home in Romagna, when he visited early in 2010. An IGT, to distinguish …
