2019 Les Rastellains
Classic Côtes du Rhône. Chokeberry, old leather, spice, just a little bit of sugar. The wine how it should be. Unfortunately, many Rhône producers released disastrous 2017 and not so good 2018, which doesn't reflect good on the reputation. And this one is an example, too. 2018 wasn't any good. But now we can celebrate 2019!
Was very good with beef and mushroom strudel.

2018 Siglo
Temranillo from Rioja. But tastes more like Rhône wines. Hints of some berries, some old leather and tobacco. A hint of blueberries in the taste. Lots of tannins. Some sugar. Overall very good wine, but it doesn't tastes like Rioja.
Enjoyed it with sous vide lam.

2021 Loma Negra Rosé
Decent Rosé from Chile. But needs some air before drinking. If you try it after opening the bottle, it taste like... grape juice without sugar. After 5 minutes, it shows some nose and taste. A bit of honey, a bit of spice. 2020 was much better.
It was OK with grilled shrimp.
