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.

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)

2022 + 2023/4 + gift (a good one for Smitty to try)
February 2022....birthday gift to George (memories of our trip to SA)
April 2022...loved this one! Was concerned I bought too many, in fact I may have bought too few. A wine I think anyone would enjoy. Flavourful, smooth, food friendly & delicious. Med-Full body. Has a Mediterranean feel. Look forward to next one.

Marqués De Riscal Reserva 2016, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$29.60

Sept 2022....It was actually a 2018, not 2016 which is what I had intended to buy.....too bad, not impressed. 2016 was a great year but probably sold out long ago and I didn't notice. Was buying it in hopes of bringing it to Gail & Theo's to go with bbq chicken....ended up taking Quadrus which was a big hit. First taste of this wine was disappointing, tasted cheap, but must admit it smoothed out over the next few days. Won't buy again.

2022, 2023, 2024 + gift 1 or 2
gift to Smitty?
winter 2022....had one but don't recall much. My gut says I was expecting more, disappointed it wasn't better, was hoping to gift a few but maybe not if flavours are not everyone's cup of tea.
Sept 2023....absolutely delicious, drinking beautifully right now.

2022 + (23?) + 24 or gift one
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).
