100th wine since rejoining the Delectable app. This PN is bold. There is an alcohol punch at the front of every sip, but then it calms down. Juicy cherry and raspberry lead to spice and caramel, with medium acidity and lower tannins. It's not half bad.

I've had Albe a number of times, and it's always been very good. This bottle is delicious, even though it is young. It's vibrant and zesty with bright cherries, cranberry, a light dusting of... dust, little mint, little tea leaf. It would be great with some cellaring, but when it tastes like this at this price, why wait? Paired beautifully with some flank steak and chimichurri.
Delectable puts it at $48 but I don't think I've ever spent that much.

This sweetheart needed a good hour to open up to me. Very nice fruit (strawberries and blackberries), spices, licorice, and tobacco leaf. Firm tannins- very good with a simple meal of grilled pork chops, asparagus, and little potatoes.

I bought this at 7 Eleven to cook with, and poured a glass. It's not bad! Maybe I'll cook without it 😁

This was a rough ride, even on day 2. The internet at large gives this vintage a good score, but I found it disjointed and alcohol prominent. Maybe I'm wrong 🤷‍♂️

I've already reviewed the 2020, so I'll keep it brief. I've been a big fan of this wine for 12 years. It is one of my go-to Italian reds when I am having friends over for a feast. And this bottle is tasting great without a feast.

Not a bad little raisin juice.

Now I remember why I stopped using this app 7 years ago. I haven't been able to login the last 2 days.
This wine was very good.

The G really shines through over the S and M. S and M... 🤔 I was looking for a burger wine and this offering from McLaren Vale delivered. Really great.

Arrived in Florida this afternoon and had to grab something from Publix to go with our grilled dinner. We've all had Decoy. We all do what we have to do. After dinner I'm moving on to cold Red Stripe beer. It's hot down here!
