Gaia Earth Goddess Organic Chardonnay Pinot Gris Sauvignon Blanc 2020, Domaine Bousquet, Mendoza, Argentina
Sharp and acidic. Lemon, apples, peach, minerals on the finish. Drinkable but nothing special. Would be better with some fish rather than on its own.

Viña Casablanca Céfiro Cool Reserve Pinot Noir 2020, Casablanca Valley, Chile
Cherries, strawberries, raspberries, spice, warm finish. Supposed to be cool climate but tastes like it is from a warm part of Chile.

Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Michael David Winery, Inland Valleys, San Joaquin County, Lodi, California, USA
Blackberry, plums, blackcurrant, oak, liqourice and pepper on finish. Juicy but simple yet I can't stop drinking this.

Passionfruit, lemon, gooseberry, leafy, earthy and stony on the finish which wasn't particularly enjoyable unfortunately.

Meinklang Graupert Grauburgunder 2019, Burgenland, Austria
Not bad for a natural orange wine. Apple, strawberry, peach, pepper, tannins but they give this wine a bit of character.

Château Peybonhomme-les-Tours Energies Elevė en Amphore 2018, Famile Hubert, Blaye, Côtes de Bordeaux, France
Tastes like a fruity Bordeaux that has been marinated in concrete which is precisely what it is!. Blackcurrant and plums, red fruits, some cedar notes, concrete, drying medium tannins but no problem to drink now.

El Burro Malbec Natural 2020, Bodega Santa Julia, Mendoza, Argentina
This looks like a Malbec - bluey-red - but smells like a beaujolais nouveau!. This also tastes like the natural beaujolais nouveau I had in November but has more fruit. I would never guess this to be a malbec. Banana, blueberry, red fruits, some volatile acidity which means nail varnish, grainy structure.
