Australia$23.95

both LCBO and Wine Align advertise as a 2017 but is actually a 2018?? Whats more, in the past I've purchased either a 2014 or 2015, which I liked and it no longer appears in their history??
Dec 2020....Xmas gift to Kim & Kelley
October 2021....for Thanksgiving. Went well enough with our turkey thighs and roasted vegetables. A bold, rich and dark wine with exotic and smokey flavour. Smooth enough to enjoy as a sipper but better with food. First sip Crystal had had since her pregnancy with Auston, she said it was heavenly! (90)

Matetic Corralillo Syrah 2011, San Antonio Valley
San Antonio Valley, Chile$23.95
late 2015/16+2017+2018
August 2018....having last one now, is better now than early on, aging has improved. Nice wine.
Previous history was 4 purchased....one as a gift (Gerrits?), one had early (2015?) and not so enamored, one enjoyed with Crystal (she really liked) (2017), and now this one on my own.

Cesari Mara Valpolicella Ripasso 2016, Veneto
Veneto, Italy$19.95
Thanksgiving 2018....brought to Dave & Rona`s to have with dinner....was quite disappointed given the 90-91 ratings (maybe look at who gave them), seemed soft and unexciting, not the flavour I was looking for....love a good Ripasso but wouldn't buy this again.

Nov/21.....for sure all gone....can remember opening them because drinking window was closing so probably 2019 (but I know see MG suggests 2026!) but don't remember much about them. Faint recollection was ok, nothing special. May have gifted one?

May 2020....lovely smooth & flavourful wine, your typical good CC. No regrets buying this, or drinking it. Had tonight on its own with snacks, tomorrow with eggplant parm, should go great. (91)
