2019?.....must have gifted one? some recollection of doing so.
January 2021.....obviously a quality wine but my bottle was past its prime in my opinion. Colour a very garnet red. Bottle remained upside down in cellar the entire time and sediment blocked flow initially. Not sure if storage caused any negative impact. That said, it got better with aeration but still lacked a zest I'm sure it held in its earlier life. Regret not having had sooner, feel like this was a winner of a wine.

Jean Max Roger Cuvée La Grange Dîmière Sancerre Rouge 2015, Ac
Loire, France$29.95
2021+2022+2023++?
September 2021....with salmon melts. Perhaps a bit austere for this entree. Salmon better suited for for a softer and fruitier PN. This has strong flavour and a stony tartness, with a touch of bitterness. Perhaps better with a red meat of some kind (pork, shepherds pie, hamburger etc...). Will be interesting to taste in another year from now.
July 2022..beautiful! Smooth, delicate, delicious. Had with roast salmon. Perfect right now....drink last one in next 6 months.

both LCBO and Wine Align advertise as a 2017 but is actually a 2018?? Whats more, in the past I've purchased either a 2014 or 2015, which I liked and it no longer appears in their history??
Dec 2020....Xmas gift to Kim & Kelley
October 2021....for Thanksgiving. Went well enough with our turkey thighs and roasted vegetables. A bold, rich and dark wine with exotic and smokey flavour. Smooth enough to enjoy as a sipper but better with food. First sip Crystal had had since her pregnancy with Auston, she said it was heavenly! (90)
