2016 Delas Saint-Esprit

Good year. Not sure it's as good as 2014, need to go through couple more bottles to be sure, but good. All bells and whistles: chokeberry, leather, just a touch of tobacco. Aerator improves wine a lot, so it has a lot of capacity to mature.
Was great with grilled veal burgers.

2017 Le Réveur



Wonderful Rosé. Nose of honey, taste of honey and citrus. Very well balanced. One of the best Rosé wined I've ever tried (and I tasted a lot).
Was great with grilled shrimp and fruit salad.

2016 Haut-Sorillon

Classic Bordeaux. Strong nose and taste of black currant. Meidum-bodied, no sugar, perfection.
Was perfect with salmon grilled on a cedar plank.

2017 Luzón Collección Rosado


Very good Rosé. A touch of citrus, a touch of honey, good overall taste. Was great with octopus.

2017 Faustino VII Rose



Nice Rosé. Caramel and a little citrus in the taste.
Was good with seafood pizza
