2022 Jean Philippe Cazaux


 Never saw before, never new such producer existed. Now I know. It's very good. Classic Bordeaux, with black currant in the nose and taste, some other fruits. Almost no sugar.

Was very good with smoked salmon pizza.

Le Chant de Julie


 Decent French Rosé. Hints of honey and citrus.

Côtes de Provence


 Not appellation contrôlée, Year is not marked. But it's great! Rosé de Provence classic. Powerful honey note, you can smell it across the room. A bit of spices and citrus. Just a bit of sugar.

2020 Château Haut Pognan


 A masterpiece. Multiple fruits in the nose and taste, with powerful black currant, hints of sour cherry and raspberry. A bit of sugar, but it doesn't spoil the taste. Juicy, with rich aftertaste.
