De Martino Cinsault Viejas Tinajas DO Secano Interior 2014 Light purple color. Shy nose that opened with air to give red berries, earth, spices and incense aromas. Flavors of clay, earth, spices then fruit and flowers notes. Reserved for now, this wine haven’t bloomed yet. Very light heat on the finish.

Domaine Buisson-Charles Bourgogne Hautes Coutures 2013 Ruby color. Fresh nose with fiels straberries, herbs and strawberry tips. Bright and mouth watering acidity on the palatewith flavors of red fruits, earth and spices.

Domaine François Cotat Les Monts Damnés Sancerre 2007 You don’t see that often white wine bottles with few years of cellaring done being opened as it is usually something kept for red wine.
