An all too rare (for me, at least) look at some Joseph Phelps wines. While absurdly young, both were showing immense class and style. The estate Cabernet was more overtly Californian being upfront, loaded with cherry and blackcurrant fruit and a spicy, juicy finish. The Insignia was much more reserved with shades of a Bolgheri Cabernet in its intensity, its leafy character and restraint. Give both these wines another five years and they will be glorious.

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve secured an allocation of the phenomenal 97-point Ca' Marcanda Camarcanda 2021 from Gaja. While they are best known for their incredible Barolo and Barbaresco such as the recently released 2021 Gaja Barbaresco, Gaja’s Ca' Marcanda estate in Bolgheri has been wowing critics and wine lovers since the family acquired it in 1996. Many leading wine critics, including Vinous’s Antonio Galloni, have expressed the opinion that the Camarcanda 2021 is the best wine they have ever made!

Taittinger's Comte de Champagne 2013 is here! We tasted it last week and agree with Vinous that this is the most expressive and explosive Comte we've ever tasted. Bursting with peach and pear fruit, there's all the freshness you expect from this wine and all that glorious elegance and poise. Very different to the 2012 or the 2011, it's another classic in the making.

Vinous 98/100 -The 2013 Comtes de Champagne is a towering Champagne, as it was last year. Rich, sumptuous and explosive, the 2013 soars out of the glass with a captivating mix of tropical fruit, apricot, passion fruit, baked apple tart, mint and yellow flowers. It is one of the most explosive, extroverted Comtes I have ever tasted. Impressive. 2025-2053 (AG)

Thought I'd mark with my favourite Australian Viognier, the Virgilius Viognier from Yalumba. Mid-gold, the nose offers a fantastically complex blend of apricots, honey, pears, vanilla spice, and ginger. On the palate, it's rich, powerful and unctuous but as they haven't tried to over-extract it, it's also subtle and well-balanced. Peach, melon, and apricot fruit melds with cardamon, almonds and limes to give a gloriously textured glassful. Limm Communications

Em 1980, a Ramos Pinto conduziu um estudo para identificar as castas mais adaptadas ao Douro. As variedades brancas seleccionadas foram Rabigato, Viozinho e Arinto. Hoje, essas mesmas castas são utilizadas para criar o Ramos Pinto DOC Duas Quintas Branco 2022, um vinho que exprime o potencial da sub-região do Douro Superior.

In 1980, Ramos Pinto conducted a study to identify the grape varieties best suited to the Douro region. The selected white varieties were Rabigato, Viozinho, and Arinto. Today, these same grape varieties are used to craft the Ramos Pinto DOC Duas Quintas Branco 2022, a wine that expresses the potential of the Douro Superior sub-region.

A press sample of the Contino Olvio 2021 arrived on Monday so thought we'd look at it. Tim Atkin awarded it 99 points, and the Wine Advocate gave it 96+. While I don't go in for scores, it was extraordinary. While I love all things CVNE Vino, there's something oh-so-special about Contino, especially in a vintage as good as this.

Blackcurrant leaves, orange peel, blackberry, sage and spices on the nose. Inky, seamless palate with magnificent extra and such poise. Plums, black berries, cream, coffee, citrus, and fresh, tangy red berries on the firm finish. Ordered a case, I just hope I can leave some of it to mature as it will be breathtaking in a few years.

Last night we looked at the 2014 releases of Belle Epoque. While all were delicious, all have a long way to go. The white was ghostly pale, with a fresh, assertive nose of citrus, white berries, and a touch of yeast. Quite lean at first, after a few minutes it opened up and the red and white berries were joined by pears, peach stones, and a little creamy brioche. The rose was slightly fuller and more forward. Stunning nose of strawberries, cherries, redcurrants and flowers. In the mouth its shared the white’s reserve, but once the air got to it offered up raspberries, cherries, sherbet, and cream. The finish was spicey and clean. The Blancs de Blancs looked beautiful, the bead so precise and even rising through a white gold expanse, but it was standoffish to the point of rudeness. The nose was muted with only subtle hints of white peach, hawthorn, citrus, cream and vanilla detectable. On the palate it was slightly more forthcoming, but the taut, lean profile and impressive grip kept everything locked down. After around 30 minutes, it blossomed and gave vanilla foam, crushed nuts, lemons, and minerals. All are going to be wonderful in a few years, but the Blanc de Blancs is going to be really special.

Well, these make for fine additions to the cellar. Two for sale,, one to drink.  Can't wait!

A true golden oldie. We found this bottle of 1947 laying in the cellar. Hand-blown bottle, a heavy sediment of tartrate, but otherwise it looked like it was bottled a decade ago. When the cork finally came out, it offered a gentle, slightly fungal nose, with marzipan, dried white fruits and smoke. Very gentle on the palate, there were echoes of the power and sweetness it once possessed, but now it's very subdued with flavours of dried white fruits, crushed nuts, slightly waxy with a touch of varnish. Dry, there was some richness, but it's now more like an old white Graves.

A beautiful bottle of Maison Louis Jadot Chablis Fourchaume 2018. Showing beautifully. Ripe nose of apples, melon, and lemons. Palate perfectly balances freshness and weight, offering plenty of white fruits with minerals, citrus, undercut by oyster shell minerality, and honey.

MWH Wine Merchants: Our Story

MWH Wine Merchants was set up by me, Mike Hall, in 2008. By then I'd been buying and selling wines for some years; working with some of the UK's leading merchants including Laytons and Jeroboams.

The Home Of Affordable Fine Wines

Initially I'd intended MWH to be a wholesaler and to deal with restaurants, hotels and other trade clients. Having founded the business on the premise of it being the home of affordable fine wines, however, I soon received a flattering number of requests from people to sell wines on a retail basis too. So, I took the decision to open MWH up to private clients and I've never looked back...
