@rob_hayward I wasn’t planning to, but maybe I should! Interesting vintage for sure

[Alex Hunt @AlexHuntMW]

Yup, just tasted me some claret 😋 #bordeaux2019

[Alex Hunt @AlexHuntMW]

@AnneInVino @VinousMedia @antoniog OMG what a coup for everyone. Wonderful news!! X

[Alex Hunt @AlexHuntMW]

@JancisRobinson Totally agree. Tasted mainly 2021 whites so far - freshness, vigour, concentration, texture - it’s all there. So an especial shame there is so little to go round, but at least the inevitable price increases are matched by top quality

Dream vertical @BerkmannWine - 20 vintages of Monte Bello🤩
Thanks to all who attended, John Olney & David Gates for hosting, and of course Paul Draper for his unwavering vision - the canvas onto which these indelible vineyard expressions are painted.Happy 60th @RidgeVineyards !

This week, two more wonderful speakers present ineffably eloquent wines: Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga with 8 vintages of @San_Leonardo and Emanuele Baldi with 6x Prunotto Bussia Vigna Colonnello. Thanks to all involved inc team @BerkmannWine

[Alex Hunt @AlexHuntMW]

@robertjoseph @timatkin Yes but there’s one P missing - building a brand requires planning, pricing and perspiration, often over years or decades! On the ground, the Bordeaux model is all pull, no push, and that creates rather more losers than winners IMO

[Alex Hunt @AlexHuntMW]

@robertjoseph @timatkin Again, by what yardstick? Many top Italians benefited from the lauded vintage pair of 2015/16, irrespective of distribution strategy. And which Italian wine has shot up most in value recently? Sassicaia, which isn’t on the Place. There’s neither correlation nor cause here.
