Torres Salmos 2012, Doca Priorat
Priorat, Spain$39.95
x2018+2020x
2019+2022
October 2019...wow! Loved it! Previous Priorat's I have had have been on the harsher side (need lots of aeration) but this was beautiful from the start. Loved everything about it....smooth & full bodied, tons of flavour. Have with strong flavoured Mediterranean food.

2021+2022+2023
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)

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.

Mullineux Kloof Street Red 2016
Swartland, South Africa$17.25
2021
June 2021....it was ok and had toned down no doubt over time. The flavour of this wine is so different and unusual. Was a novelty at first but quite honestly has worn off on me. Don't buy again.

Château Pech-redon La Clape L'Épervier 2014, Ac
Languedoc, France$22.95
(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!

Ama Chianti Classico 2016, Docg, Tuscany
Tuscany, Italy$35.95
December 2020...had with gnocchi Bolognese, was hoping for something great given the high ratings of the same vintage Grand Selezone....might want to buy more, but don't think I will. Nice enough but on the lighter and tarter side of CC, I like them a little fuller and richer. Lots of tart red berries, thin.
If $23 would repurchase but not at $35.
2017 and especially 2018 supposed to be better.
