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.

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)

x2017x, x2019,x 2020, 2021*....be careful not to let it go too long (not sure about 2024?), tasting in 2020 will help....did taste Oct 2020, still in great shape. I'd say 2021 or 2022 latest. Have with steak and aerate 1 hour if possible.
First bottle gone, not sure if drank or gifted.
Oct 2020....rich and intense. Alcohol a little heavy at 15% but after 30 minutes of breathing the burn dissipates. Solid glass of wine which I quite enjoyed with lamb curry (perhaps not best match but quite alright). A quality product and a shiraz I can tolerate. (91)

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.

both LCBO and Wine Align advertise as a 2017 but is actually a 2018?? Whats more, in the past I've purchased either a 2014 or 2015, which I liked and it no longer appears in their history??
Dec 2020....Xmas gift to Kim & Kelley
October 2021....for Thanksgiving. Went well enough with our turkey thighs and roasted vegetables. A bold, rich and dark wine with exotic and smokey flavour. Smooth enough to enjoy as a sipper but better with food. First sip Crystal had had since her pregnancy with Auston, she said it was heavenly! (90)

Loire, France$17.95
(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
