Gonzalo De Berceo Reserva 2013, D.O.Ca
Rioja, Spain$28.00
Very difficult wine to appreciate. Flavours are dull and uninviting. A real disappointment in the mixed red Discovery case.

Domaine Les Yeuses Les épices Syrah 2012, Igp Pays D'oc
Languedoc, France$15.95
I'm 100% with Mr. Lawrason on this one. What an elegant wine at such an affordable price. Certainly not for those love the big brawny Napa Cabs. This Syrah has such lovely herbal notes with lots of cherry flavour. Goes well with so much

M. Chapoutier Les Vignes De Bila Haut Côtes De Roussillon 2015, Ac
Languedoc, France$15.95
What an excellent wine for the money! I agree with Mr. Lawrence, the 2015 vintage is superior to to the bracketed vintages. Superb value for such an intriguing flavour profile at this price point. We stocked-up and will be enjoying this one through 2018.

Ontañón Crianza 2010, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$16.95
I found this wine, initially, far too "woody". The oak is heavy and predominates, but after ~30 mins., it was much more appealing as the oak subsided.

Santa Carolina Specialties Dry Farming Carignan 2010, Cauquenes Valley
Chile$18.95
Love it! A bit challenging on the palate due to its truly rustic flavour profile but so much fun. Lots of sour fruit as described by Mr. Lawrason, which for me, is delectable! Excellent buy and will definitely train & educate your palate.

Renato Ratti Ochetti Langhe Nebbiolo 2015, Doc
Piedmont, Italy$23.95
Superb. Complex and truly enjoyable with all the flavours described by the experts. Intriguing, full of unique flavours and not overpowering. Definitely one to grab in multiples.

Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Shiraz 2018, Clare Valley
South Australia, Australia$18.75
Not a fan of this one. For my palate, too much chocolate and vanilla and not enough fruit. For the price, Folklore Shiraz is a better buy with a more vibrant flavour profile.

Parfum De Schistes Faugères 2016, Ap
Languedoc, France$18.25
Superb product for those who are lovers of wines from the SW of France. Terrific fruit on the nose and palate with great spice; a real pleasure. Highly recommended. Excellent buy especially when it went on sale at our local LCBO.
