Marques de Almeida
Rias Baixas Albariño 2018
Now that was lovely! It’s been in my little wine fridge (not turned on as more storage) for quite a few years. Bought from Sainsbury’s £7.50 (I write this on the label to remember). Very drinkable but good depth. Only split over 2 nights not the normal 3 when I open a bottle. Will have to find it again. Great value! 2018 vintage. — 3 months ago
Averaen
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Bought from whole foods Alexandria $24.99 to take to a friends for dinner. It was pleasant enough, but I was a tad disappointed that it didn’t have more depth of flavour. I’d wish I’d bough the NZ Central otago one instead now. — 7 months ago

Stumbled upon this almost by mistake whilst drinking the other Bollinger (La Grande Annee 2015) on a BA F flight. I must admit I don’t think I’ve had a BdN before (plenty of BdBs though). And as a big Pinot Noir fan, I had to try it and was@not disappointed. Loved it, more than the vintage one if I’m honest. Felt it had a bit more structure/depth. Now looking around to see if I can find a bottle (around £98) but it’s pretty limited. — 20 days ago
