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.

2016 Héritages

First impression: chokeberry juice fortified with alcohol. Even after aerator. Was sad, first 2016 Côtes du Rhône which is bad. Then, as dinner progressed, taste improved. After half hour, it was pretty good wine. Appeared subtle leather and tobacco notes.
This wine is not ready for drinking. Needs at least another year in the bottle.
It could be great with rabbit dinner, but for the first impression.
