Few bottles enjoyed over a birthday weekend

Gonon — first time having the red and this was a revelation – started with bacon fat, smoked meat, olives – mint and more olive on the nose as it opened up.

Els Jelipins rose – another wow bottle, blood orange, clementine, great structure. Paired with a Niçoise.
