Speedy recovery to you. Did the wine at least taste somewhat like it should?

Status: offline 		I really love the 2011 which is bright and lemony. The 13 seems to have much more of an oxidative (not premox) and nutty toasty oaky character. I much preferred the 2011 than the 2013. From what I read, the 2014 is back to the lemony character over the 2013 but you don't know until you try. Pop one of those babies to see what it's like and then wait a couple years for the next one to gage what you like. Better yet, find a 2011 on the secondary market and give that one a try!

Once it warmed up a bit from fridge to about 60˚ it was really nice.

I got an invite to dinner with a group of friends who like wine but aren't vinophiles.
So I'm bringing a bottle of 2014 Merryvale Chardonnay, Hyde Vineyard and a bottle of 2014 Ch. Grand Puy Lacoste.

At the last minute I added a bottle of 2014 Merryvale Pinot Noir to the mix. A good thing I did too. there was a total of 8 people and I only anticipated 6.
These folks were worried when I plopped the bottles onto the table at the restaurant, thinking it was against the rules.
But I had called as soon as I knew where we were eating. The corkage was $25 per, and they didn't have proper glasses but it was worth it.
Most everyone liked the wine. However one of my friends wouldn't even try it. He had beer. Well, we were at a pub, so...

The Merryvales both had way too much oak on top of the fruit for my liking but others thought they were very good.
The GPL hit the spot for me, for the second time in a couple of weeks. Although I have to put the brakes on with drinking these Bordeaux so young, or I'll never get to drink them after the aging process.

One of my friends says his favorite CNDP - 2012 Antoine Ogier Cuvee Reine Jeanne is the equal of the GPL, and he has some cab/merlot blends that I will like even more. As if...
I'll be sure to bring a bottle of Andre Will Ciel du Cheval to compare with his blends that day.

Just opened prior to making dinner. (Dinner will be slightly different from my original plan, but: Seared sea scallops, thinly sliced grapefruit and shaved fennel salad, and fregola tossed in arugula pesto).

On PNP, the wine is a canary yellow, and smells like butter, hazelnuts, pineapple, and has just a bit of this rainwater aroma that I usually associate with Chablis and Mosel rieslings.

On the palate, it's pretty full-bodied with nice acidity.

Pretty nice juice after all these years.

Not sure I’m getting a good education on traditional vs modern Barbaresco comparing these two. I thought Sottimano was modern?
