Moillard Cuvée Prestige Rully 2015, Ac

Nice med red colour, quite deep for PN. Nose is a bit reserved, with hints of red berry fruit. Quite rich on the palate, solidly mid-weight with nice tart fruit notes (cranberry) and some spice for complexity. Good persistence. Enjoyable now but I suspect will reveal more in a couple of years. Good value in the world fo Burgundy but for a true PN drinker; not a party wine!

Lanciola Le Masse Di Greve Chianti Classico 2013, Docg

Traditionally styled Chianti marked by dried fruit and earthy flavours. Quite pale and ambering at this stage. At its peak and not for the long term. Found at bin end for $19 which seems a fair price. Would not have been happy to pay original $24.

Muga Reserva 2014

Nice ruby colour. Ripe fruit up front with strong oak notes, and balancing acidity. Med to full bodied, and all in balance. Pretty much at its peak, and very much in the Muga style.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Shiraz 2016, Coonawarra

Viña Leyda Single Vineyard Canelo Syrah 2015, Leyda Valley

Queylus Tradition Pinot Noir 2016, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Medium ruby. Nose runs to the spicy and earthy side of PN, with the fruit suggested mostly by the fairly rich mouth feel; seems quite extracted although not to the point of exaggeration. Nicely balanced, with hints of red candy intermixed with anise and other spice accents. Still quite firm, but evolving nicely. Will probably hit its stride in another year or so.

Hidden Bench Locust Lane Rosé 2018, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment

Louis Jadot Chorey Les Beaune 2013, Ac

Pale ruby colour, turning orange at the edges; showing its age a bit. Light but classic nose of fresh berries with hints of forest floor. Light to med bodied with good flavour persistence. Nice ripe tannins and lip smacking acidity. An enjoyable village Burgundy not straining to be anything more.
