Château Hyot 2019, Ac Castillon Côtes De Bordeaux

Medium ruby with intense aromas of tree bark, oak, vanilla, green tea, and brown sugar which all settle after some time to reveal violet.

The palate on the other hand is not as in your face as the nose with medium minus flavours of smoke, licorice, vanilla, oak, cedar, and a hint of plum. Dry medium minus finish.

I would give this another two years and maybe the fruits will shine instead of those oak influences. A lot of potential for this wine if that were to happen.

Josh Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County

Medium purple wine with medium minus-intensity aromas of blackberry, raspberry, oak, dried herbs, smoke, vanilla, and a hint of black pepper.

Medium flavours of blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, and smoke. Medium plus acidity with soft tannins and medium finish.

This has the typical California profile but holds back just enough to enjoy especially with burgers.

Ruppertsberger Pfalz Trocken Riesling 2021, Qualitätswein

Talk about a satisfyingly fresh wine with peach and hay aromas, hints of petrol, pineapple, orange rind, and minerals - all for just $13!- April 2024

Michael David Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Lodi, California

Very intense aromas of vanilla, smoke, dried black fruits, and Cocoa. All of which are replicated on the palate with some cedar, and chocolate. - Tasted Sept 2023

Wines Of Substance Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Columbia Valley

Too much oak and vanilla

Marziano Abbona I Due Ricu Rosso 2017, D.O.C.G. Langhe

This was like walking into a florist, with lots of floral aromas in the glass with a bit of earthy aromas, pine, raspberry, and olives.

Flavours of plum, sour cherry, olives, sweet herbs, violet, and a hint of chalky tannins. Medium finish with medium acidity. More floral than before that's for sure.- Jan 2024

Cap Royal Rouge 2018, Vegan, Ac Bordeaux Supérieur

Thierry Delaunay Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2021, Ap

Overripe Peach aromas hit right away along with grass and grapefruit.

Taste like peach and lots of them along with orange. The peach and orange tangle together beautifully as the peach pulls towards a fermenting style, the orange pulls it back to bring some balance. Before that tug of war, I also got grass, lychee, grapefruit, soft lime, and lemon. Medium minus acidity.

I like the way this was made, good value here

Mas Des Bressades Cuvée Tradition 2019, A.P. Costières De Nîmes

Started the long weekend with this nice southern Rhone wine. Lovely aromas of raspberry, perfume, orange, and game. Juicy black fruits, vanilla, salt, pepper, and some sweetness at the end. This is fantastic with mushrooms.

Château De Ribebon 2019, Ac Bordeaux Supérieur

The aromas are a mix of blackberry, red currant, roasted bell pepper, iron, and mushrooms. The flavours are light and juicy, with barely any tannins. The bell pepper taste is more noticeable than the fruit. The finish has a bit of salt. - April 2024
