Vicchiomaggio Agostino Petri Riserva Chianti Classico 2010, Docg

now 2018

April 2019.....still in good shape....refined, tasty, smooth.....pretty nice wine but can't say it was spectacular.

Uccelliera Rosso Di Montalcino 2012, Doc

(2) 2019+2021

2019?.....must have gifted one? some recollection of doing so.

January 2021.....obviously a quality wine but my bottle was past its prime in my opinion. Colour a very garnet red. Bottle remained upside down in cellar the entire time and sediment blocked flow initially. Not sure if storage caused any negative impact. That said, it got better with aeration but still lacked a zest I'm sure it held in its earlier life. Regret not having had sooner, feel like this was a winner of a wine.

Domaine Gouron Chinon 2018, Ac

(11+?)...lots
last one....2023/4
Oct 2019....shared a late night bottle with Erin and was unexpectantly impressed with it especially considering it is Cab Franc. Smooth, tasty, doesn't require food. I bought 10 more!
Fall, 2019....think I had one.
June 2020....with chicken leg, nice.
June 2020....brought to June's birthday dinner.
....quite a few given as gifts, to who I cant remember.
August 2022...had last one, still enjoyed, easy drinking. A good pour for $18

Frei Brothers Reserve Zinfandel 2012, Dry Creek Valley

2017 + 2018

1st one consumed sometime in 2017.....really really nice, wished I had bought more.

August 2020....think I had second bottle recently (this year). Was still good and still loved it. Would definitely buy again if a decent vintage.

Zangaura Saperavi, Kindzmarauli Pdo 2016, Kakheti, Georgia

2020+2021+2023+gift

March 2019...gifted to Janis for missing 2 hair appointments.

Heartland Shiraz 2012, Langhorne Creek

didn't enjoy so much, typical Aussie high heat and abrupt, needs grilled steak or lamb.....give 2cd bottle another 2+ years to round out, maybe more enjoyable then (Jan 2016)

Remember having second bottle and enjoying it more, probably did have it in 2018 so further time agreed with it. Still, not inclined to repurchase. (90-)

August 2022..gifted to Eric S, 2 day golf trip.

Orestiadi Ludovico 2008, Igt Rosso Sicilia

2019

....my recollection is I quite enjoyed it. A pleasant departure from other Italian wines. Dont recall if I drank both, I suspect one was gifted.
