Burgundy, France$28.95
2020/21/22
August 2020....OMG, so good. I could drink this all night long. Mid weight, smooth, complex and refined. Alcohol barely noticable. Could have bought a case and never tire of it. Enjoyed with cedar planked salmon.....yummmmmy! (92)

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.

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.

July 2021....had with salmon melts. First sip seemed harsh, with a distinct flavour and bite, but with food and 15 minutes in the glass, quite enjoyable. Not sure I would buy again. Prefer NZ in this price range. Must have had the first one some time prior but don't remember it.

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!

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.
