Château Siran Margaux 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine

 

Château Siran Margaux 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine, $31.87-$37.49, 92 points, poured a deep purple/red with a clear wine ring and copious stained legs.
Aromas of red raspberry jam, cocoa, a floral vibe, with a hint of cinnamon and clove were excellent.
Full-bodied dry red wine with good acidity, firm grainy tannins, and flavors reflective of the aromas presented a sophisticated, pairable, and delicious tipple.
Finished long on the trailing palate, warm pepper spices, and a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired well with my spice-rubbed T-bone steak.

Chateau Du Courlat Cuvee Jean-Baptiste Lussac-Saint-Emilion 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine, (Merlot)

 

Chateau Du Courlat Cuvee Jean-Baptiste Lussac-Saint-Emilion 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine, (Merlot) $15.29-$17.99, 91 points, poured an impenetrable purple/red with a clear meniscus and dense hanging stained legs.
Aromas of cinnamon, clove, and dried cooking herbs nuanced with chocolate, a floral vibe, anise, and red fruit were excellent.
A full-bodied bone-dry red wine with bright acidity, fine grainy tannins, and rich flavors throughout that reflected the aromas showed power and subtlety.
Finished long on a 14.5% alcohol infused spiciness and iron.
Paired fine with my supreme pizza.
This is a high QPR red wine (a definite buy recommendation)!

Tolaini Al Passo IGT Tuscan 2016 Red Wine

 

Tolaini Al Passo IGT Tuscan 2016 Red Wine, $21.24-$26.99, 89 points, poured a deep purple/red color with a broad clear rim and copious stained legs.
The bouquet was a bit earthy, funky, and plumy with a hint of iodine.
Medium to medium/plus-bodied dry red wine with good acidity, supportive tannins, and flavors of plum, black tea, and iron were enlivened with easy spices and what seemed to be an under-rated 13.5% alcohol. Finished well on the fading palate.
Paired fine with my sweet Italian sausage.

Veneto Primo Amore N/V Moscato

 

Veneto Primo Amore N/V Moscato, $9.99-$12.99, 88 points, was a very light brass color turning clear long before the rim and showing a bit of Vinho Verde frizzante-like fizz.
Gentle and lovely aromas of Honey dew melon, lime, and warmed Clementine zest impressed.
Light-bodied sweet white wine showed enough tartness and acidity to avoid being cloying, but not enough to to be more than a tasty tipple gulper. Flavors followed the aromas with a touch of lemon-bitters and a trailing fair finish with a 7% ABV.
Paired well with both Mexican and Asian cuisine.

Château Réaut de Grand Vin De Bordeaux 2016 Bordeaux Red Wines

 

Château Réaut de Grand Vin De Bordeaux 2016 Bordeaux Red Wines, $11.89-$13.99, 89 points, poured an opaque garnet red with thick stained legs and a clear meniscus.
Aromas of soft Allspice, slightly sour plums, violets, and a hint of mocha were interesting if not fragrant.
Near full-bodied dry red wine with good acidity, firm grainy tannin, and flavors reflective of the aromas.
Finished long, tart, and tight with a lively 14% alcohol.
Paired well with my cheeseburger.
This is not a classic red Bordeaux in that it lacks much of the fruit in a typical "young" Bordeaux, but still is lean and has a high QPR.
Varietals were 58% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc.

Bodega Señorío de Beade Ribeiro 2019 White Wine

 

Bodega Señorío de Beade Ribeiro 2019 White Wine, $14.44-$16.99, 88 points, was a light yellow/gold color with a clear penumbra.
Light aromas of lime, lemon-grass, mandarin zest, and pome flowers were pleasant.
A light juicy off-dry white wine with good acidity and white grape, tangy citrus, and lemon oil flavors showed bright and tasty.
Finished fair on the fading palate, a vibrant minerality, and I believe a miss labeled 14.1% alcohol.
Varietals were 60% Albarino and 40% Treixadura.
Paired perfectly with my fried Ipswich clams.
