Lagoalva Reserva 2015, Vinho Regional Tejo

Very nice wine that required 3 - 4 hours of decanting before it turned out real nice and smooth and did not taste so tart any more. Tasted March 2018.

Decoy Chardonnay 2016, Sonoma County

I agree about the sweetish notes. Quite an amazing Chardonnay ! Tasted October 2019.

Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spätlese 2005, Qmp, Oestrich Winkel

Louis Roederer Brut Champagne 2012, Ac

Very enjoyable brut champagne with a good balance between acids and sweetness. Tasted December 2023.

Tyrrell'S Rufus Stone Heathcote Shiraz 2022, Victoria

Nice young Shiraz which needed a couple of hours of decanting before it opened up. If you have more one bottle, I would suggest giving it another year or two before opening the next one. Tasted May 2025.

Paul Dolan Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Mendocino County

Jean Geiler Gold Medal Muscat D'Alsace 2011, Ac Alsace

Very floral for sure but not as sweet as I expected for a Muscat, which is great for pairing with a greater variety of food. Was a bit disappointed about how flat it tasted and its limited complexity. Tasted July 2013.

De Chanceny Excellence Brut Vouvray 2010, Ac

Worked out great as an opening drink for New Year's Eve. Tasted December 2013.

Small Gully Mr. Black'S Little Book Shiraz 2010, Barossa Valley

Great full-bodied Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. Truly benefited from a little bit of decanting. Tasted January 2014.
