2021 Thymiopoulos jeunes vignes de Xinomavro / Young Vines Naoussa
4/28/2024 - Callum's Corkers Likes this wine: 93 Points
I’ve previously scored/reviewed this 2021 at 91, but this note pertains to the 2nd night tasting - bottle kept under cork for 24 hrs though, importantly, when tasting again for second time it included a 1 hour decant too. Updated score 93.
93 because wine now a softer, rounder better mouthfeel plus the other positive credentials from previous note retained/carried over too.
N….pretty much as previous note.
C….no change, obviously.
T….weirdly better for the 24 hrs sitting in kitchen with a cork in, plus the decant. Just a better glass of the same wine - perfect advertisement for decanting. Details of previous tasting note remain, now just a better experience.
QPR?…. Costs around £12.00 yet feels like £20.00. Utter bargain - if you decant! Will buy again.

2021 Petaluma Riesling Hanlin Hill
4/27/2024 - Callum's Corkers Likes this wine: 93 Points
Bought Majestic UK £27.99 April 2024
Screw cap. Chilled. No decant.
13.5% alc.
N…immediate New World kerosene; some nice wet stone minerals; green apple skin
C….solid medium body, straw with a hint of green.
T….ripe fruit but a near-dry style; fruit flavours are focussed, greengages, ripe lime, tart passion fruit; some gentle white tannins, some minerals, there’s enough acid though I can’t say it’s lively, good length, good balance and a touch of elegance too. Very good glass of Clare Valley Riesling. Impressive now at 3 yrs old but clearly had shedloads of potential.
QPR?…..feels worth every penny of its price, in fact more. Definitely buy more of this 2021. Cellar time would probably move it up to score 94 or 95.

2022 The Wine Society Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi
4/22/2024 - Callum's Corkers Likes this wine: 90 Points
Wine Soc’ UK, approx £8.50
N…..some lemon rind, very little else.
C….light straw, looks L-Medium body
T……first impression is a fresh interesting wine, lively with good intensity of flavour; ripe nectarines, even a bit of peaches and cream; some near-grippy white tannins; a mineral profile; a Foodie style wine; no length, flavours fade early; a well-made but simple wine.
QPR?……costs £8.50 and feels worth that. Will buy the 2022 again.
