2010 Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Côte du Py

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

After the ripe and approachable 2009 vintage in Beaujolais I find it quite appealing to get back to a structural creature like this. It’s awash with what feels like natural acidity and has plenty of rugged, grippy tannin. Nowhere near … Continue reading →

2012 De Bortoli Vinoque Roundstone Vineyard Gamay Noir

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Jeremy Pringle

The second installment of the Vinoque Gamay from De Bortoli and a worthy follow-up to its 2011 predecessor. More forward and plush, as you’d expect from a warmer vintage. A depth of dark cherry flavour sits atop bountiful stalky notes … Continue reading →

When I first tasted this in the Yarra Valley last year amongst a bracket of red and whites grouped under the banner of the “Delinquent Children”, it immediately impressed me. It may even have been a barrel sample, I’m not … Continue reading →

Posted on December 27, 2010 by Jeremy Pringle
