2019 Douro Mural Reserva


 Wonderful wine from Portugal. Courtesy of Costco. Wine Enthusiast gave it 92 points, I absolutely agree. Complex berry taste, with plum note. If I tried it on a blind tasting, I'd say "Bordeaux", if not for that plum note. Great aftertaste.

Was good with grilled chicken pizza.

2020 Fonte dos Frades


Probaby the best Portuguese wine I've ever tasted. Complex taste with berries, old leather, tobacco. Everything subtle. Almost no sugar.


2017 Bodega Eguia (Kirkland) Rioja Reserva


Not bad. Not as good as was 2015, but still complex taste with multiple berries. A little bit of sugar. Overall nice impression.

Was very good with sous vide lamb leg.
