Melini Chianti Classico Riserva Docg 2013

Château Lestruelle 2009, Ac Médoc, Cru Bourgeois

Deep garnet-purple coloured, it offers intensely scented aromas of black cherry, casis and plum pudding with some presence of oak. Full bodied with high amount of acid. Finish with good persistence, but a little bit closed and tannic in the mouth at this stage.
This should improve over the next 2-4 years.
Tasted October 2012.

Palacios Remondo La Vendimia 2011, Doca Rioja

Ornellaia Le Volte 2009, Igt Toscana

Nice typical super Tuscan, well balanced. Red and black fruit, earthy with floral notes. Light with good length. Decant for an hour and try with grilled meat. Overpriced, shouldn't be more than $17

Château Du Grand Caumont Cuvée Tradition Corbières 2018, Ap, Midi

Gemma Barolo 2007, Docg

I'm so glad that kept this wine till today. Produced in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba, wine has a garnet red colour with deep brown edges, and a bouquet of ripe fruits with spicy hints of cloves and pepper. Chocolate, tabac and dark fruit on the nose. Unfortunately still short to medium finish. Tannic but balanced.
Paired with ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach, soused with butter with sage
Tasted May 2017

Bodegas Castaño Hécula Monastrell 2009, Do Yecla

Château De Galifay Cairanne Côtes Du Rhône-villages 2010, Ac, Rhône, France

Very nice typical southern Rhone Grenache and Syrah blend. Dark ruby, a lot of black berries, peppery.
Tannins are firm and well balanced, finish is long and pleasant. Tasted January 2017
