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)

Dec 2019....xmas gift to Kim & Kelly
Jan 2021....good wine, strong full bodied, needs a comparable food match. Tested best on day 3 so aeration appears to benefit and soften it (similar to Priorat! what do you know!!). (90)

2020+2021 (max 23)
April, 2020.....really good, full bodied and delicous. Had with eggplant pasta. Could of kept drinking it but had to display some discipline. Should have bought more than two....well worth the $29. Save last one to share with someone. G&A would be good candidates.

Bachelder Les Villages Niagara Gamay Noir 2018, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario
Ontario, Canada$22.95
(4)
return'd 2
2021 + summer 2022
January 2021.....had with chicken salad and quinoa salad....nice, better than the Adamo, but a light gamay noir not my cup of tea....I prefer more mid-weight and perhaps more fruit. There is a sharpness to GN that doesn't much appeal to me. Only ever meant to buy 2 bottles, so wont keep the second 2 after this initial taste. Drink second one summer of 2022.
May 2023....what a difference a couple of years can make! No sharpness, was smooth and flavourful (cherry). Quite enjoyed with both chicken and pork meals. Highly drinkable and enjoyable! (90+)

Château Carignan Prima 2015, Ac Côtes De Bordeaux Cadillac
Bordeaux, France$33.95
fall 2021
(pure merlot)
March 2022.....typical French aromas and taste, quite enjoyed it though with a chicken WeCook meal. Better after some aeration. A little pricey when matched with my enjoyment but not disappointed that I bought it.
