Overall Red Wine of the Year - Chile 2022 Special Report. Well, well, well. Who would have anticipated this? My best Chilean red wine of the year is a Malbec - and not just any Malbec. Roca Madre is an incredible, world-class red from the volcanic soils of the Río Hurtado vineyard, located at 1,600 metres in the remote Limarí Andes. Racy, tangy, grippy and intensely perfumed, it's an incredible expression of the variety, with violet, plum and black cherry concentration, fine-grained tannins and a pithy, energetic, mineral-etched core.Inc. VAT£233.98 -

Roca Madre is a remarkable Malbec from an extreme site in the Limarí Andes, located at 1,600 metres on volcanic soils. Intense, focused, herbal and refreshing, with well-handled coffee bean oak, stylish tannins, lots of energy and zip, a violet top note and intense raspberry, plum, blueberry and black forest gâteau flavours.Inc. VAT£238.78 -
(12x75cl) 2017Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)
The 2017 Taillefer offers lovely density in a mid-weight style that holds considerable near- and medium-term appeal. Succulent dark cherry, blood orange, chocolate, spice, new leather and mocha all flesh out in this appealing, unctuous Pomerol from Bernard Moueix. Best of all, the 2017 should be a terrific value. Tasted two times.Inc. VAT£361.78 -
(12x75cl) 2019Vinous - Neal Martin (92)
The 2019 Taillefer has evolved nicely since I tasted it from barrel. On the nose, vivacious brambly red fruit, Earl Grey, allspice and cedar aromas vie for attention. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a liberal sprinkling of white pepper and a cohesive finish. This should age well in bottle.Inc. VAT£317.21 -

The 2020 Taillefer was tasted from two bottles. I must confess that the first left me scratching my head and did not rate it. The second is cleaner and more focused on the nose with blackberry, briary and light tertiary scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine tannins and well-judged acidity. Ah…this is much more like it. Not long, but its precision really develops nicely in the glass. My score is based on the second bottle.Inc. VAT£350.81 -

(1x75cl) 2021Inspired by the diversity of Hokkaido's breathtaking islands and climate, Takahiko Hokkaido Nana Tsu Mori Pinot Noir 2021 is an exquisite testament to the mastery of Japanese winemaking.

The 2006 Talbot has an attractive bouquet of pure black cherry and blueberry fruit, a little more refined than its peers. It is less mentholé in style and therefore delivers commendable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins. A touch of aniseed is just a little distracting, but the 2006 retains fine balance and seems to have coalesced since I last tasted it. Quite delicious.Inc. VAT£1,039.87 -

The 2011 Talbot has a light and fragrant bouquet with red berry fruit, bell pepper and earthy notes, a touch of sage emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying succulent on the entry, quite fleshy for a Saint-Julien in this vintage, not complexity but judiciously spiced and lively on the finish. For me, this Talbot overperforms in context of the growing season. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.Inc. VAT£789.40 -

The 2012 is a supple, inviting wine. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke and licorice appear first, followed by scents of graphite, smoke, violet and sage that add nuance. This expressive, open-knit Saint-Julien has a lot to offer. Above all else, the Talbot is incredibly sensual and inviting. It will be hard to resist young, but also has enough depth to drink well for two decades, perhaps longer.Inc. VAT£817.87 -

The 2014 Talbot is soft, silky and wonderfully nuanced on the palate. Much more refined from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2014 has moved toward greater finesse over the last two years.
