2022+23+gift
May 2023....Sunday night steak (bbq prime sirloin - delicious). A nice malbec to be sure, but not overwhelmed by it, maybe was expecting more. Crystal enjoyed her single but large glass which means I drank at least 2/3's of the bottle (feeling it today!) Wine was smooth with a good flavour profile, minor mineral touch to it. Was best with food. (91+)

one per year start 2021 + gift 1-2 bottles (Erin & Smitty would enjoy)
Nov/21.....when first tasted, no mistaking it for anything other than a french wine, had that certain flavour I cant always describe. After airing a while and certainly after a few days it became a very enjoyable quaff, though I doubt I would have purchased this many, 2 would have sufficed. Try next one late 2022.
Xmas 2021....gift to Erin
Sept 2022...gift to Smitty (cottage golf)

March 2024.....pretty sure this is the only one I have, probably gave one away. Was worried it might be bad but on the contrary quite nice. Certainly aged and smooth, but rich with dense fruit flavours, quite lovely. Had with leftover moussaka. (92)

July 2021>>>only see 2? did I give one away? (may have?) (Dawn?)
April 2022.....had with an 'indoor bbq steak'. Wine was good, not spectacular, but with some time to breathe, it had a chance to settle into something tasty and smooth. Was enjoyed, no complaints. Try #2 in 2024 (if in fact is the last one).
