THE SECOND TASTING SESSION OF 2023<br />
FULLY DELIVERED ON <strong>IT</strong>S PROMISE<br />
Our spring and early summer tastings continued to draw as many entries, particularly as we<br />
further broaden the spectrum by opening up the tastings to beers, ciders, fruit juices and flavoured<br />
wines. This landmark development allows us to present you wines and drinks from an extensive<br />
range of backgrounds, selected from a wide choice of several thousands of bottles from thirty-five<br />
countries. As usual, France, Spain, Italy and Portugal are still in the majority but the New World,<br />
particularly South America, along with Eastern Europe, also contributed to a significant degree.<br />
THE UNIQUE VINEYARDS OF BOROV<strong>IT</strong>ZA IN THE NAMESAKE BULGARIAN VILLAGE. THE WINERY WAS ESTABLISHED BY<br />
TWO RENOWNED WINEGROWERS, OGNYAN TSVETANOV AND ADRIANA SREBRINOVA<br />
THE BEST OF SUMMER 2023<br />
Our selection, tasted and scored by our tasting panel, is presented on pages 119 to 130. As is customary for<br />
us, we have chosen to present the wines by country (Bulgaria, Italy…), then by appellation in each region,<br />
with each winery or chateau listed by alphabetical order and in descending of the scores awarded. This<br />
issue therefore features our selection of Bulgarian wines, Italian whites, outstanding Provence wines, South<br />
African Sauvignons and Spanish rosés, the rising star of the international marketplace<br />
