2016 Delas Saint-Esprit

Good year. Not sure it's as good as 2014, need to go through couple more bottles to be sure, but good. All bells and whistles: chokeberry, leather, just a touch of tobacco. Aerator improves wine a lot, so it has a lot of capacity to mature.
Was great with grilled veal burgers.

2017 Le Réveur



Wonderful Rosé. Nose of honey, taste of honey and citrus. Very well balanced. One of the best Rosé wined I've ever tried (and I tasted a lot).
Was great with grilled shrimp and fruit salad.
