Egly-Ouriet, Les Vignes de Bisseuil Vintage:N.V. A truly outstanding Tenuta Nuova

A truly outstanding Tenuta Nuova Brunello that seems less fruit-forward and more shut down than usual but holds exciting promise

It’s both approachable now but has the ability to age over the coming 15 years

I loved the 2017 Gigondas Ventabren and savvy readers should snatch this beauty up

plums and black cherries are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass

Egly-Ouriet, Les Vignes de Bisseuil Vintage:N.V. A truly outstanding Tenuta NuovaThis release of the NV Champagne Vignes De Bisseuil is based on 2019 but also includes 2018 and 2017. In the glass it pours a bright silver straw hue and offers savory, ripe aromas of pear, melon rind, fresh earth, and briny salinity, with bold character and ample ripeness. Medium to full bodied, it delivers a good deal of intensity and maybe even more fruity on the palate. Its a savory wine with lovely richness, a refined mousse, and a long finish.
