Zinzolin Un Flot de Raisins Bleus 2020

A surprisingly delicate & joyful (declassed) Cahors from old vine Malbec aged in clay & concrete.
Blue fruit on the forefront with huckleberries, blueberries, a touch of blackberry. But there’s a darker, earthier undertone with turned earth, toast & blood .
On the palate it’s smooth & juicy with the tannins polished, juicy & not rustic at all.
Nice depth & energy and great drinkability!
Even better on day 2 with the purity of the fruit shining! Very, very food friendly and dangerously drinkable! A joyful discovery!

Reserva Soltius Bella Viña Utiel-Requena Viura Sauvignon Blanc 2017

No fragrance that I can smell to strongly...
Drinks really nicely with subtle flavors of straw, citrus, green apple that is nice a dry. Has a great balance of fruit and acidity that has a nice and smooth finish!!

Valérie Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2015

Prettiest nose of all time. Cherry pomegranate with a bit of dried fruit. Beef jerky and wood smoke. You have to love the wine adventure too. Somm thought our choice off the list (the 2019 vintage) was a good one, so he offered us the 2015 at the same price. Excellent wine!! — 8 months ago
