2018 J.L. Quinson Côtes de Provence
Light and crisp Rosé, with distinctive summer honey meadow note in nose and taste. A bit spicy, a bit citrucy.
Was very good with sea scallops dinner.

2017 Essere Cabernet
Interesting Cabernet. In blind tasting I would say it's Bordeaux. It's milder than ususal Cabernet. It's criticized a lot on the Web, but I liked it. Was looking for some wine to go with Tuna on Bahamas, but Bordeaux is way too expensive there (>$30). This one was quite good addition to our tuna dinner.

2017 M. Chapoutier Belleruche Red
Disappointment. Too sweet, too much sugar. Getting better after aerator, and even better after some time in a glass. Maybe it needs some time. Will try again later.
2017 Delas Saint Esprit
Disappointed. Too much sugar. Maybe it needs some time, I'm keeping couple of bottles for later.
Update. Not just a disappointment, total disaster. After more than a year, tried again, not drinkable. Ended up as a cooking wine.
2016 Les Abeilles de Colombo
Disappointment. Most of 2016 Côtes du Rhône wines are pretty good. This one... There is something in it, it's kinda drinkable, some berry notes. But it all is killed by sugar. If I want a sweet wine, I'd take some dessert one. Like port or Commandaria.
Was drinkable with a grilled skirt steak. But I will not buy it again.

2014 Leo de Gaffellére
Classic Bordeaux. A bit spicy, a bit tangy, prominent taste of black currant. No sugar at all.
Enjoyed it with veal seared with porcini and chantrelles.
2016 Chateau David Beauleu
Great Bordeaux! Nose and taste of spices, red berries and black currant. No sugar at all. Some tannines in the taste, but subtle, not overpowering. Was great with smoked salmon and shrimp pizza
2017 Delor rosé
Very nice rosé Bordeaux. Subtle taste and nose, was very nice with turkey breast pan seared with wild musrooms.
2017 Joseph Castan Excellence Grenach Syrah Rosé
Very good rosé. Nose and taste of good Rhône rosé. Went pretty well with fried skate and fried potatoes.
2014 Chateau de Lafaurie-Monbadon
Very interesting Bordeaux. Tired today, can't judge nuances. Nice spicy nose, berries in taste, instead of usual for Bordeaux black currant, I feel prominent red currant. Mature wine, ages in the glass.
Was great with veal and mushroom dinner.
