2017 Passivento rosso

Good. Powerful Sicilian wine, with taste and nose of mixed berries. A little bit of sugar doesn't interfere with taste.
Was good with rabbit nuggets.

2017 Passivento rosato

First time tried Rose from Sicily. Good. Mix of berries and flowers in the nose, berries in the taste. Was good with fruit and chocolate dessert.

2016 la Chásse Rosé

Good Rose. Little bit lighter than expected. With strong citrus note  and a bit of flower. Good with fruit and chocolate dessert.

Abavas

Sweet Latvian black currant wine. Nice, not too sweet. Very good with dessert.

2016 Léon Perdigal

Nice Cite du Rhine. A little bit lighter than usual Rhine wines, but with all classic notes: chokeberry, leather, tobacco. Was great with beef liver friend with apples.

2017 Passivento Rosé

Very nice Rose wine. Never tried Rose from Sicily before. Strong, powerful, with some citrus, flower and mineral notes. Went perfectly with fruit and chocolate desert.

2016 Château Gromel Bel Au


Wonderful Bordeaux! Nose and taste of mixed red berries. Especially good after aerator, which, instead of softening taste, makes it brighter.
Was very good with trout grilled on a cedar plank.

2015 Sophie & Michelle Belleruche



I love Belleruche. Expected a lot from this wine, probably made by children (need to find out). Huge disappointment. Wine is harsh, nose is unrefined and cheap, taste is harsh and cheap too. Aerator doesn't improve taste one bit. Will not buy again. Maybe later, some other year.

2017 Le Pive Gris (Rosé)


Very interesting Rosé. Quite unusual mix of grapes, very distinct taste. Summer meadow in the nose, flowers, grass in the taste, a little bit of honey in the aftertaste.

D'Orsay



Nice and unusual Provence Rosé. Nose of summer meadow. Taste is nice, grass tones with a little bit of honey in aftertaste.
