2016 Berger Zweigelt



Wonderful wine. Smells almost like Bordeaux, but taste quite different. Mix of berries (raspberry, red currant, cherry), just a bit of spice, just a bit of sugar.
Was great with arctic char pie.

2017 Clos de Nit



Very good Catalan wine. It's not like other Spanish wine, bold and powerful. No, it's subtle, medium-bodied. You can have it with the same food as Bordeaux.
But it doesn't taste like Bordeaux. Has its own distinctive taste, juicy, with berries.
Was perfecct with pizza.

2018 Château d'Aigueville Rose



I always liked reds of this château. Now they released Rosé in USA.
Very good. Honey in the taste and nose, a bit of citrus, a bit of spice, a bit of sugar.
Was perfect with blini with smoked salmon and salmon roe.

2018 Château Bellevue

Good. Maybe I'll update it later, too hungry today to detect fine points, but good overall. Quite comparable to 2016.
Was good with pizza.

2018 Château Palene



First attempt to try 2018 Bordeaux. Didn't like it. Don't know if it's a year or a producer. It feels like watered down. No substance.
Will not buy again.

2014 Signargues



Very good Côtes du Rhône. Chokeberry, a bit of old leather, a bit of tobacco in taste. Sorry, because of some infection my nose isn't very good at detecting smells right now. No sugar in the taste at all.
Was great with filet mignon under truffle sauce.

2014 Carraia



Very nice wine from Tuscany. Dry, medium-bodied, with a bit of acidity.
Perfect pizza wine.
