Boutari Grande Reserve Xinomavro 2008, Pdo Naoussa

Cedar colour and sandlewood at the fore, with beautiful length and complexity in Feb '21. At peak as it doesnt have the stuffing to keep improving. Old world complexity, not new modern lushness. A unique wine and nice, welcome throwback

Dominio Del Plata Crios Limited Edition Red Blend 2012

Sileni The Plateau Pinot Noir 2012

Perhaps past its prime at this late date 9at peak 2015?), flavours per Zoltan's review however with the juiciness leaned out.

Emiliana Novas Petit Verdot 2011, Colchagua Valley

Really nice and the price belies the quality.

At peak in summer '16: length, complexity, refinement and still nice weight with no funky aged flavours and no longer a burly brute. If you like petit verdot, a winner and worth the wait. Wish I had half a dozen more

Château Des Moines 2009, Lalande De Pomerol

At it's prime now, the age upped it's complexity nicely. Very smooth, with the cedar aspect coming a bit to the fore. Old world in a very good way.

Domaine Cros De Romet Cairanne Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2010, Ac

At this late date, unbalanced, overextracted and almost tasting like port
