Balthus - 2023 - Bordeaux Superieur

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson. Inky bright dark purple core and hue. Pure and intense aromas where fine oak and toast blends with violet, chalk, truffle, blackberry, cassis and fine tobacco. The palate shows immense concentration, yet with a modest extraction, offering powdery tannin, cocoa-powder like texture with layers of inky dark fruit, good proportions, and integrated oak, layers of savoury dark fruit, fine spice and a very long muscular finish.

The positive out of a horrible event like the bushfires in Victoria in January is we have been made aware of wineries we didn't know existed on our doorstep.

Tuscan Wine at £8.99… This Shouldn’t Be This Good (Episode 574)

In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste a Tuscan red wine that genuinely surprised us.

Chef Doug Psaltis of Asador Bastian, Chicago invited FOLIO’s Philippe André to co-host an evening of Rare Champagne paired with white and black truffles! Blossoming year after year, Rare Champagne expresses an elegant style: endless freshness, long-lasting minerality, with a radiant purity and subtle contrasts. Rare Champagne is recognizable by its notes of tropical, fresh fruits and smooth spices — sometimes candied — its smoky accents, expressing the minerality of the Chardonnay grapes rooted
