2022/3
Feb 2023..... No mistaking its a Kiwi wine. A decent quaff, more candied than savoury, not my favourite profile but very drinkable. Glad I only bought one however.

2022+2023
Dec 2022....awesome! Love dry farmed carignan! From the Maule Valley as well. Best deal on the market! Had with ground bison (WeCook), went very well. This wine will go with almost anything.....pizza, yum! Could consider this for my 'one and only' grape for the rest of my life. Drink second one in next 9 months.

2022...MG recommends a pork dish
Jan 2023....had with pulled pork, went very well. Great value here. Doesn't have the refinement of Quadrus 2015 but a nicely flavoured, full bodied, decently complex wine for the price. A house wine I could drink often I would think.

Evel Tinto 2017, Doc

2022+2023
Jan 2022.....when first opened and took an initial sip I did not like, had an unpleasant green taste to it. Twenty minutes later it had transformed itself into something much more respectable. Tasty, juicy, smooth. Absolutely enjoyed the rest of the bottle with a variety of meals, it went with everything.

......from Big White April 2023....none of us really liked it much but maybe 2-3 years will help soften it.....say 2026.

Château Reverdi 2006, Ac Listrac Médoc
Bordeaux, France$23.95
2015/16
1st one (2013ish) had with Coq au vin, but wasn't impressed despite Gord on Grape's 92+ rating and food suggestion.......fast forward to June 2018 surprised it was still drinkable, had with 8 oz bbq burger which it went well with; wine was smooth and mellow and distinctly aged.....a pleasant surprise all round!
