Only have one left....bet I gave 2 away because doubt I would have drank one yet with other vintages still in cellar....darn!
December 2021....with Duff's wings. Still love this wine, great flavour, great value. Consistently good, year after year. Neighbourhood Zoom night, ended up drinking 2/3 of a bottle (felt it next morning). Noticed that it improved after about 15 minutes aeration. No reason I wouldn't keep buying this wine other than expanding horizons. (91)

Descendientes De J. Palacios Pétalos 2015, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$24.95
2020+2021
Xmas 2021....gift to Ann & George
Jan 2022.....had with several WeCook meals (pork souvlaki, lamb ratatouille, buffalo meat balls), went well with all of them. Not the highest rated vintage of late but still a very satisfying wine. This wine has become a staple in my cellar, both Chris & I consistently enjoyed it over the years. Even though I am cutting back, if 90 or above I'm buying at least one.

May 2020.....really enjoyed this wine, it was light, crisp, smooth & savoury. Had with salmon melt. Would go with just about anything I suspect. Fantastic sipper too. What a great value as well. Should have bought more. (90)

2020+2021
per JS, give it another year or 2 (fall 2018 to 2019) how long it will last I don't know but Mike says to 2021
April 2021....with steak....fantastic! Appreciated its uniqueness and unusual flavour profile. Went very well with bbq steak. Drink second one at end of 2021
bbq season. Could go another year(?) but why take a chance.
January 2023....had Saturday night at the kids'. Don't recall the meal but do recall how enjoyable it was and Crystal liked as well. Pretty sure we polished off the entire bottle in that one sitting.

x2019/20x
2022/3
...Xmas gift from Julie Mckey.
August 2022....drank the whole bottle in one sitting with Crystal. She had received Reidel glasses from her boss and we wanted to try them out with a nice bottle of wine, and it was, delicious. A lovely Cab. No food required. Chris (pregnant with Jenn) & I visited Mondavi winery in 1986, 38 years later enjoying their wine (50th Anniversary bottle) with a bottle from Chris' sister Julie.
