2017 Cerro Añon


 Great Rioja! Powerful sour cherry note in the nose and taste. Well balanced. Aerator greatly improves this wine.

Enjoyed it with sous vide lamb.

2019 Petit Freylon


 One more good Bordeaux from 2019. Sold under Costco Kirkland brand. Powerful black currant in the nose and taste. A hint of old leather in the nose, more pronounced in the taste. Very interesting subtle hint of coffee in the nose and taste. Very well balanced, no sugar at all.

Enjoyed it with smoked chicken pizza.

2018 Antonin Rodet Pinot Noir


Pinot Noir. But not from Burgundy. At least, not Appelation Contrôllée. Decent wine. A bit more powerful than I expected. Subtle notes of berries. Not bad overall, but I still prefer Burgogne. Although US prices are outrageous.
Was very good with smoked pork chops, served with wild rice and canned peaches.
