2005 Château Rollan de By
12/23/2023 - dptrevelyan Likes this wine:
The 05 Rolan de By Médoc Cru Bourgeois, punching upward tonight. With prime NY strip, on the grill. This wine is a contender; stony, rich, balanced. Lots of drive. Yummy, young, complete.

2014 Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage Blanc
10/22/2023 - dptrevelyan Likes this wine:
Intriguing and inviting nose of honeysuckle, almond, and nutmeg Tasty and full, with peach pit, dilute marzipan, honey, and a hint of ginger spreading across the tongue. This 70 marsanne 30 rousanne blend declared the typicity of its Northern Rhone roots, called like a siren to be sipped again, and tasted delicious with beet and apple salad, squash croquettes, and grilled octopus. Very fresh for its age; no rough edges.

2014 Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage
10/22/2023 - dptrevelyan Likes this wine:
Surprisingly fruity; blackberry nose,very pleasant to sniff. Un-syrah-like on the palate, with comments of New World cabernet and merlot. Morphed in and out of Rhonedom over the two hour session, alongside (and possibly upstaged by) fellow outlander Texier CDR-Brèzéme, and accompanying braised pork, wild mushroom rigatoni, sweetish fried chicken, and local pan-seared fluke with Brussels sprouts and squash; @ 5 Ocean Long Beach NY. In the end, a very tasty, fresh, and thought-provoking wine.
