2024 Fontagnac

 


Very good Bordeaux. Not overpowering. Multiple berries, well balanced.

Was very good with grilled tuna.

2025 Ciconia


 Another Portuguese rosé. Not bad. Some berries in the taste and nose. A bit on a sweet side.

Was good with grilled fish.

2025 Beso de Luna


 Rioja Rosé is good. Always good. And this one is especially good. Crisp, a bit spicy, just a hint of sugar, with a complex taste and nose, full of different berries.

Enjoyed it with grilled shrimp.

2018 Château Larroque Bordeaux Superior


Very good Bordeaux. Complex taste and nose, with multiple fruits, a little spice, some tannines. Very smooth.

Was very pleasant with grilled tuna.

Vaucluse by Xavier Vignon

 


The only good thing about this wine: it's drinkable. Barely. Too much sugar, it's hard to understand taste.

Will never buy again.

This producer makes great Châteneuf-du-Papes. Beats me how could he release this wine.

2024 Regengos Seleção


 Good wine. Don't feel much difference from Regengos Carmim. A bit of berries, a bit of tannins, very well balanced.

Enjoyed it at a restaurant Sem-Fim.
