Yellow colour that reminded me of banana liquor. Dry and medium... Continue Reading →
8.5/10 $32.25 Rosewood Lock, Stock & Barrel VQA Merlot Blend (Ontario).

9/10 $29.95 Caves d'Esclans Whispering Angel Rose (France). Delicate strawberry scent with the most beautiful blush peach colour. Tastes floral and peachy with a hint of strawberry.
