Castello Di Bossi Berardo Chianti Classico Riserva 2008

Cant recall when I drank this wine, but do recall that it was decent and wasn't disappointed with its purchase.

Château Pech Redon La Clape L'épervier 2014, Ac

(about 6)
drink from 2019 to 2023 + gift up to 3

2018...gift to Tim Lukenda

Sept 2019....gave to Smitty at cottage

Nov 2021.....strong bold wine, had with bbq steak which is what it needed, enjoyed but had that French flavour that I sometimes not a big fan of. All told, glad I opened it, enjoyed it, but didn't really need to drink again but I will next summer.

June 2023...same as above, till drinkable, finish last one this year (missing one??). Red meat a must!

Nugan Estate Mclaren Parish Vineyard Shiraz 2010, Mclaren Vale, South Australia

(3)
x2017x, x2019,x 2020, 2021*....be careful not to let it go too long (not sure about 2024?), tasting in 2020 will help....did taste Oct 2020, still in great shape. I'd say 2021 or 2022 latest. Have with steak and aerate 1 hour if possible.

First bottle gone, not sure if drank or gifted.

Oct 2020....rich and intense. Alcohol a little heavy at 15% but after 30 minutes of breathing the burn dissipates. Solid glass of wine which I quite enjoyed with lamb curry (perhaps not best match but quite alright). A quality product and a shiraz I can tolerate. (91)

Yering Station Village Pinot Noir 2015, Yarra Valley

(2)

July 2021....had with salmon melts. First sip seemed harsh, with a distinct flavour and bite, but with food and 15 minutes in the glass, quite enjoyable. Not sure I would buy again. Prefer NZ in this price range. Must have had the first one some time prior but don't remember it.
