In 2017, James and our team of top tasters — Stuart Pigott, Nick Stock and Jack Suckling — tasted and rated close to 17,000 wines. As a team, we tasted wines in just about every major wine-growing country, and most of the tasting sessions were held in the given region of production. Aside from examining the liquid in the bottle, we also spoke to the winemakers, walked the vineyards and smelled the land — all to gain a better understanding of each and every wine that we highlight.
As always, we work with Asia Tatler to inform wine consumers, collectors and trade on what James is tasting, as well as our definitive selections each year. This February, Asia Tatler republished our Top 10 Wines of 2017 where Chile’s Almaviva Puente Alto 2015 stole the limelight. For the full article in PDF, please click here.
