2014 Chateau de Lafaurie-Monbadon

Very interesting Bordeaux. Tired today, can't judge nuances. Nice spicy nose, berries in taste, instead of usual for Bordeaux black currant, I feel prominent red currant. Mature wine, ages in the glass.
Was great with veal and mushroom dinner.

2016 H&M Hofer Zweigelt Rosé



Great Rosé! Spicy, citrucy and buttery. Slightly flowery nose in the beginning, powerful nose of wild summer flowers after wine was drunk.
Was great with seafood paella.

2017 Château Foncrose


Second bottle from Costco Christmas box. Decent Bordeaux. Obviously not mature, even aerator doesn't help much. Might be very good in 3-4 years, but who knows.
Went good with pizza.

2016 Chianti Sagrato



A bottle from Costco Christmas box. Nothing to right about. Drinkable, but that's about it. Will not buy again.

2014 La Reserve d'Angludet


Wonderful wine. 2014 was great in Bordeaux, and this wine is an exceptional specimen of the year. Soft, with good balance, mixed berries nose and taste.
Was a great compliment to a duck dinner.

2017 Franschhoek Cellar Rosè



South African Rosè. Never tasted bad one. Even average one. They are all good and all different. This one is very good. Slightly tart, with strong citrus note. Was very good with pan seared veal.
