Cosme Palacio Rioja 2011

Dark red cherry color. Nose where oak leads the way with aromas of coffee, vanilla, caramel and spices notes. More expressive with air. Quite harsh at first on the palate at bottle opening, air will be of a good use here too. Then flavors of blueberries, mulberries, spices, cappuccino and vanilla. Good acidity level and ended with a silky mouthfeel. Long and tasty finish. Good+ (88)

Pierre-Marie Chermette Coeur de Vendanges Beaujolais 2014

Slightly purple ruby color, seems quite dark for a Beaujolais. Aromas of homemade strawberry jam, spices, earth all in a complex nose. Serious on the palate with fruits flavors, good amount of spices and a good acidity level. Finish with a touch of caramel. Feels like it is above its Beaujolais rank. Is it because it’s made of centennial vines? A fact is that I like it! Very good+ (90)

Domaine du Loup Blanc Le Régal Minervois 2012

Dark purple-ish color. Nose of meat, spices and black berries. Despite its structure and chewiness, it does have freshness that goes well with the fruity flavors, the fine and integrated spices notes. Good length where a touch of minerals and leather is noticeable. I do recommend to put it in the cellar for few years to let it rest a little. Good+ (88)
