Le G de Château Guiraud 2019, Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Bordeaux, France

Apple, pear, lemon and leafy. Creamy mouthfeel. Would probably improve with a couple of years in the cellar.

Mark: B-

DMZ Chardonnay 2019, DeMorgenson, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Oak, butter, lemon, pear, mango, peach. Creamy and smooth but still with a fruity mouthwatering acidity.

Terres Dorees L'Ancien Beaujolais 2019, Jean-Paul Brun, Beaujolais, France

Very pinot like. Wild strawberry, cherry and spice. Light but full of flavour. Great paired with lebkuchen. Would buy again.

Terra Viva Bio Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie 2029, Italy

Apple, pear, minerals, salty finish. Not the greatest but would probably pair nicely with some white fish or seafood.

Nicely oaked, butter, citrus and pineapple, creamy. 

Mark: B-

Château de Châtagneréaz 2017, Grand Cru Rouge, Mont-Sur-Rolle, Switzerland

Mark: A-

Emblem Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Michael Mondavi Family, Napa Valley, California, USA

Blackcurrant, blackberry, plums, liqourice and drying tannic finish. I was expecting it to be a bit more plush so I would recommend cellaring for two or three years and trying again. However, it is very drinkable right now. This would be great with a steak.

Mark: B

McManis Family Vineyards Viognier 2019, River Junction AVA, California, USA

Very fruity and fresh. Peaches, pears, pineapple, butter, lemon and a bit of spice.

Mark: B

Château Belgrave 2012, Vignobles Dourthe, Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France

Was expecting more for the price. Red fruits and plums, cedar and leather, and non existant tannins. Where are the blackcurrants? Would not guess that there was any Cabernet Sauvignon in this. A nice drop but just not what I was expecting.
