Aug 2022...gifted to Eric S, and had some. A good wine but had a strong flavour I wasn't super fond of. Maybe more time/aeration will change that?

bbq 2015 + 2016
Feb 2019....had with eggplant pasta largely because it needed to be consumed....wasn't at first liking it much....strong flavours and alcohol.....but became much more enjoyable after 30 minutes of aeration.....rich, full bodied, complex....happy to have sampled it (don't remember having first bottle..maybe gifted it??).

J.L. Chave Crozes Hermitage Rouge Silène 2014
Rhône, France$31.00
2020 to be safe (which is same as 2013) so maybe can go to 2021 at latest .
February 2021....had with chicken chilli, worked just fine. Lovely wine, lots of flavour and depth, structure....class act. I never seem to be disappointed by JL Chave, all their wines are highly drinkable. Makes me a fan of French wine when many do not.

Sottimano Langhe Nebbiolo 2013, Doc
Piedmont, Italy$29.95
(3)
after 2020 (decant 1-2 hours)
by 22/23 seems to be it!
Nebbiolo food pairings: veal medallions, roasted pork loin, prime rib, coq au vin, grilled tuna with a pepper crust.
.....mouthwatering with evident tannins that make this wine the perfect pairing to many traditional Italian pasta dishes.
Would also be exceptional with your next steak.
Can be enjoyed now, but will do really well if it rest for 5-7 years (2021-23)
Mar 2021...yummy, delicate, had with Med. Chicken. Really enjoyed.
Mar 2021...gifted to Ann G on her birthday
Nov 2024....with Norah, moussaka, past its peak but still ok
