2022, 2023, 2024 + gift 1 or 2
gift to Smitty?
winter 2022....had one but don't recall much. My gut says I was expecting more, disappointed it wasn't better, was hoping to gift a few but maybe not if flavours are not everyone's cup of tea.
Sept 2023....absolutely delicious, drinking beautifully right now.

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.

return'd 2
2021 + summer 2022
January 2021.....had with chicken salad and quinoa salad....nice, better than the Adamo, but a light gamay noir not my cup of tea....I prefer more mid-weight and perhaps more fruit. There is a sharpness to GN that doesn't much appeal to me. Only ever meant to buy 2 bottles, so wont keep the second 2 after this initial taste. Drink second one summer of 2022.
May 2023....what a difference a couple of years can make! No sharpness, was smooth and flavourful (cherry). Quite enjoyed with both chicken and pork meals. Highly drinkable and enjoyable! (90+)

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)
