2021 Torre de Ferro Tinto Reserva

 Nice Portuguese wine. Mixed fruits in the taste and nose, a lot of tannins, some spice. A bit of sugar, but not much. Good everyday wine.

Was good with ham and mushroom pizza.

Château la Croix de Beaugas

 Nice Bordeaux. Strong note of black currant in the nose and taste, some other berries in the taste, a bit spicy, a lot of tannins. No sugar, which is great.

Had it with grilled tuna. It's a bit harsh for this, but would be great with a steak.

Danúbio

 Good Portuguese bubbly. Fruity, fun, no yeast in the taste or nose at all. Good for small celebrations.

Was good with sea scallop pie.

2022 Pacheca Red

 Looking for good Portuguese reds. Tasted many, but good ones don't happen often.

This one is very good. Reminds me of Rhone wines of the best years. Strong nose of mixed berries. Very good taste: mixed berries, spices. No sugar at all!

Enjoyed it with smoked salmon pizza.

2023 Champ d'Oiseaux

 Living in Portugal, I mostly drink local Rosé wines, which are mostly good. But sometimes have a desire to remember something from France.

This is classic Rosé d'Anjou. A bit sweet, with flowery tones.

Was very good with mussels and pasta.

2022 Châteaux Jean de Marceau

 

Decent Bordeaux. Strong nose and taste of black currant, a bit spicy, some tannins. A bit too much sugar. Drinkable, but there are better wines.

Was OK with grilled tuna.
