2023 Château du Rival


 Another classic Bordeaux. Nose and taste of black currant, no sugar, great aftertaste.

Was great with grilled pork loin.

2018 Château Redon


 Classic Bordeaux, a bit on a lighter side. Multiple fruits, with black and red currant, almost no sugar. Just a hint of a bitter note.

Was very good with ham and mushroom pizza.

2020 Vieux Planty


 Very nice Bordeaux. Rich nose and taste. A mix of fruits in both. Seems sweet before the aerator, but after aerator it's very good.

Was great with baked salmon pizza.

2024 Primitivo Puglia Rosato


 Courtesy of Aldi's. Nice, slightly sweet Róse. A bit of citrus, a bit of spice.

Was good with grilled white fish.

2024 Arteso Rosado


 I love Rioja Rosado. It feels a bit more powerful than French Rosé wines, but has its own charm.

This one has complex taste of multiple fruits with citrus and spices.

2023 Mezquiriz

 


Didn't have much hope for this wine. Bought at Lidl in Salamanca because there wasn't much choice of Rosé wines.

It's good. For €0.99 it's great! Citrus and spice.

Went well with baked cod.

2020 El Coto Rioja


 Didn't have it for many years. Loved it when it was available in USA. Now found it during our visit to Salamanca, Spain.

It's still great. Strong note of sour cherry, good balance, good response to aerator. Complex taste.

Was great with fried liver.
