Maison Roche De Bellene Cuvée Réserve Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022, Ac

(8 or more)

2 per year 2025-2027 or gift

Dec/24 - had a couple and perhaps gifted one (so count 3 as gone). Liked rustic feel and flavour but thought it had a bitter edge to it. Maybe better in time.

Nov/25- having wth piri piri chicken. One year later and that bitter edge has softened but still evident. I think next year will be its best.

Jun24......can't remember a thing but would have opened myself, not given away.
Hope I enjoyed??

Farina Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2005, Doc

Aug 2020.....this was had many years ago I suspect. Believe it was recommended by Tina (LCBO). Don't remember much else, neither good or bad, just don't recall. But if I had to guess I went over the moon with it.

Feb 2022.....pretty sure I took this with me to Smitty's cottage in summer of 2019. Actually no, it was that Canadian Port we bought at Rona's wine tasting event that I took to Smitty's that year....it was quite nice from what I remembered.
As for this bottle, I did open it at home now that I remember. In fact, I still have some left in a 200ml bottle but I suspect it is 2-3 years old so probably bad. Don't recall anything from when it was first opened but bet I liked it!

Alvento Elige 2007, VQA Niagara Peninsula

2015???....only remember not being as impressed with it as I was hoping....a Bordeaux blend I believe

Summer 2017?....had with salmon at Eric & Donna's....turned out better than I thought it would.

now! (2019)...try with meat or pasta

July 2019...surprisingly still in decent shape and drinkable.....smooth but has lost some character in my opinion but still enjoyed with a thick pork chop and on subsequent nights with other leftovers.
