Château De Montfaucon Baron Louis Lirac 2015, Ap

I spent all afternoon on Sunday cooking a cassoulet... when choosing which wine I'd open I came across this Côtes du Rhône in my newly arrived Wine Exchange shipment, and driven by impulse rather than thought I opened it. It paired very nicely. This CdR greets you with a predominantly red fruit nose, has lovely acidity in the palate, and a depth and length that you would expect to find in a much higher priced Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Baron De Ley Gran Reserva 2001, Doca Rioja

I'm not inclined to exaggerations, but every now and then you come across an extraordinary surprise, and this is one. What a beautiful silky smooth, yet with luxurious depth, this Rioja is!
Enjoy, pausing to let in sink in, let it dance around in your mouth, and be happy... Viva Spain!

Road 13 Vineyards 5th Element 2013, Okanagan Valley

Powerful deliciousness, bold character, full body, maybe a tad too much alcohol, but boy is it ever good, this is Bordeaux style done justice.

Tessari Grisela Soave Classico 2017, Veneto

A beauty, an absolute beauty. and, mind you, I very rarely get this excited with a Soave.
