2019 Château Haut Claribes.


 Awful. I liked 2018 Haut Claribes a lot. But this one is plain awful Too much alcohol. Never heard of Bordeaux with 15% alcohol content. This one has it, and it killed the wine. Yes, there are some notes of coffee and black currant, but they are overpowered by alcohol.

I will not buy this vintage again.

2021 Kirkland Côte de Provence


 Wonderful. Nose and taste of a very good Provençal Rosé. Hone, citrus, spice, flowers, grass.

Was great with mussels, pasta and asparagus.

2021 Ile de Conas Rosé


 Cheap wine from Trader Joe's. No appellation, just Pays d'Oc. It's great! Complex nose and taste with subtle notes of honey, flowers, citrus, creating the impression of a meadow on a hot summer day. Will buy again.

Was great with grilled shrimp pizza.
