Vino De Pago Aylés S De Aylés Garnacha 2015, Do Pago Aylés
Spain$20.75
2021 (preferably with Rona as was a hostess gift from them).
Nov/21....drank this one alone and quite enjoyed it. Another pleasant surprise, enjoyed every glass over several days. Partial to Grenache.

Katnook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Coonawarra
South Australia, Australia$29.95
now 2019
Nov/21....woulds have had this back in 2019. Recollection is, was expecting better. Didn't wow me in any way which was disappointing. Australian Cab? Should have had sooner? Who knows, but wouldn't make that purchase again based on this experience.

Bachelder Les Villages Niagara Gamay Noir 2018, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario
Ontario, Canada$22.95

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+)

December 2020.....ok, really enjoyed this, more than I might have thought. Had with roasted chicken and was fine. Velvety and flavourful, a little heavy on alcohol but well integrated. An enjoyable glass of wine.

Jan 22.......wow, fantastic! Delicious. Great weight, flavour and acidity. Stupendous value! Had with roast chicken leg, went great. This has several years left but tastes so good now, why wait. Have last one about a year from now.
