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.

summer 2019??....had the first one but don't recall too much about it....think had with cedar plank salmon on a Sunday dinner with the kids, remembering that it was a quality wine, nice but not knocking my socks off.

one per year start 2021 + gift 1-2 bottles (Erin & Smitty would enjoy)
Nov/21.....when first tasted, no mistaking it for anything other than a french wine, had that certain flavour I cant always describe. After airing a while and certainly after a few days it became a very enjoyable quaff, though I doubt I would have purchased this many, 2 would have sufficed. Try next one late 2022.
Xmas 2021....gift to Erin
Sept 2022...gift to Smitty (cottage golf)

revised 2021-22
>pretty sure this was a gift to Tina, either birthday or Xmas 2011.
September 2, 2022......in celebration of Andrew's 34th birthday. Shared with Crystal, had with t-bone steaks. Absolutely delicious! Required aeration and was responding well after 30 minutes. A refined, classy glass of wine. Delicate for Cab Sauv. Had held it for 11 years, without harm. A slight garnet tone. Worth the wait!

Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2012, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$31.95
2019
2020, maybe longer (2022 latest)
Wine Enthusiast
Made entirely with Sangiovese, this offers aromas of spicy plum, violet, blackberry, toast and a whiff of oak-driven spice. The firmly structured palate delivers black cherry, clove, anise and a note of grilled sage alongside assertive tannins that leave an astringent finish. Give it time to unwind. Drink 2017–2025.

drink from 2019 to 2023 + gift up to 3
2018...gift to Tim Lukenda
Sept 2019....gave to Smitty at cottage
Nov 2021.....strong bold wine, had with bbq steak which is what it needed, enjoyed but had that French flavour that I sometimes not a big fan of. All told, glad I opened it, enjoyed it, but didn't really need to drink again but I will next summer.
June 2023...same as above, till drinkable, finish last one this year (missing one??). Red meat a must!
