Castello Di Bolgheri 2006

The Castello Di Bolgheri from Italy of vinatge 2006 has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years now. I am unfamiliar with older red wines how they taste so this would be interesting. First impression is a very deep red color. Looks good. The smell is good and is promising however the first taste of the wine is that it is very sour. I let it rest in the glass for twenty minutes before having the next taste and now it has full flavor of red currants and tobacco. It is very good to have together with meat. A very nice surprise and I would gladly drink more.

Pjazza Regina Red wine

A month ago I had the chance to try white wine from the Malta producer Pjazza Regina. This time it was their red wine that I had the chance to try.  It has 12% alcohol level and the taste is very sour, not my kind of wine and it leaves me empty. However, nice nose but not good taste.
