2019 Broquel Malbec (Kirkland)



Masterpiece. One of the best wines from Argentina I ever tasted. Good, overall well balanced taste, with tones of plum and sour cherry. Aerator improves taste a lot. Great finish. Definitely will buy again while it lasts.

Was great with char pie.

2017 Château Fontana

 2016 Château Fontana was a masterpiece. 2017 - not so much. There is no substance. Wine feels flat. No finish at all.

Will not buy again.

2018 Laroque

 Good. A little bit of play on the tongue. A little bit of tannins, spicy, black currant, no sugar. 

Reine des Fleurs


 

Another wine with strong smell of chalk. Could be OK if not for this "earthy" tone. Will not buy again.

2019 De Mont

 


Another Rosé from Provence. But... First impression: strong smell of dust. Taste isn't that bad, usual notes of honey, citrus and spice. Strong mineral note, that's why dusty smell. Well, some people like mineral notes. I can forgive them if they are subtle and don't interfere with taste much. But this one... I will never buy again.
