2014 Château la Verrière
Good, powerful Bordeaux. Notes of black currant, red currant, sour cherry, spices. A little bit of chaulk, a hint of Médoc bitter note.
Was OK with smoked salmon pizza, but would be much better with strong beef or mutton dishes.

2014 Château Rasteau
Wanted to try it for a long time, but price was always too high (yes, I'm cheap). Got it on sale for $12 at last. Worth every penny and then some. A masterpiece. Very complex nose and taste, don't even want to split it to components. Great aftertaste. Matures right in the glass, but aerator is necessary anyway.
Great with steak. Would be even better with venison, but I didn't have any.
