2020 Gard Réserve de la Saurine Rosé

 Well, a disappointment after 2019. That one was great, you can read review here. But this one is just plain. Drinkable, with subltle citrus notes, but nothing special.

2019 Vinyes Ocults Malbec

 One more masterpiece from Argentina, from Eco valley. Taste is so complex and pleasant, you don't even want to find components in it. You just want to enjoy it. Was marked at Costco at 94 points, and I fully agree. Bought half a case more.

2018 Gerard Bertrand Saint-Chinian

 Love wines from this producer. Usually they are good substitution for Côtes du Rhône, But it feels like 2018 was very bad for that kind of wines. It's not that bad as 2018 Delas, but still not very good either. Has usual Rhône notes, chokeberry, spice. But too harsh, not balanced. Drinkable, that's all. Will not buy again.

2022 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau

 

Not on par with 2020 or 2021. Nice, spicy, with strong hint of cranberry. But not a masterpiece. Rosé might be good, but it didn't reach Minnesota yet.

Was good with croissant pie.

2021 J.L.Quinson Côtes de Provence

 Wonderful Rosé! Lots of citrus, as if it was held on lemon skins, a hint of honey, a hint of summer meadow, spices!

Enjoyed it with seafood paella.

2021 Céline Côtes de Provence

 Côtes de Provence as I like it. Honey, spices and a hint of citrus.

Was great with grilled shrimp.

2019 Château du Grand Bern

Second bottle from Costco Christmas box. Decent Bordeaux, but with strong bitter note, more usual for Médoc. Makes this wine less pleasant than other three of the box.

Was OK with BBQ chicken pizza.
