Steal at the price, John nailed it (as always). One release only? A shame. Bye bye birdy.

Château Canteloup 2010, Ac Médoc

Nose of an expensive and complex wine. First glass tasted well over the hill and pruney. Needs to breathe and then it opens up and volatile funkiness disappears leaving a woody old world wine with good length and complexity. Needs food but good deal. Drink now but let breathe.

Porcupine Ridge Syrah 2018, Swartland

G.Marquis Chardonnay The Silver Line Niagara Stone Road 2019, Niagara On The Lake

A bit of a throwback to the well oaked and ripe fruit style of the past but a pleasure due to its fine balanced. A hint of sweetness from the fruit and oaky butter but balanced by a touch of cold climate crispness (less than the norm). No need to age further, ready to go.

Wayne Gretzky Riesling 2013, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Pérez Cruz Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2018

Domaine Cros De Romet Cairanne Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2010, Ac

At this late date, unbalanced, overextracted and almost tasting like port
