This comes across very cherry driven. Plenty of tannins left and quite acidic. Lime, crushed marbel,…Yet overall not that exciting at this stage. Anyways 12 years in the bottle is enough. I would say drink up and make space in the cellar. An OK Burgh but not worth the wait. At least this particular vintage. — a day ago

Not really memorable. No formal notes. Typically I like this producer as he is still reasonable in price. But this rendition did not convince. — 7 days ago

Picked up two cases worth of 2023 1/2 bottles from this producer last week...one case of Gevrey Champonnet, and 6 btls apiece of Gevrey Estournelles and Gevrey Lavaut/St. Jacques. Pricing was, as you said, reasonable, and, unless mistaken, 1er Cru juice.

Tahiti. Motu is a small, low-lying islet. Schlepped this wine across the equator. As a last toast to my fiends selling their Motu. Although i might be biased when i drank this wine looking at he stars and Elon Musks satellites this was incredibly good. — a month ago

Any intrusion of Elon Musk into my thoughts while drinking a great wine would likely have soured my pleasure and rating a bit. I’m glad you were able to avoid such intrusive thoughts.

The man did terrible thinks no doubt. But there are other facets of his work. Not a wine discussion though.

I’m old enough to remember when this was a very good winery! (‘84 Cab was really nice.)

Trader Joe’s Classic!!!! This usually stinks. But not in this stellar 2021 vintage. Not super complex but more on the elegant side. I would think this will age for 10 years or so. After 24 hours even better and more convincing. Quite tannic! Grab it by the case while it is there the 2022 will be awful (my prediction). And at 20 bucks…….. — 17 days ago

Sounds right. Solid mid-tier producer. But. Improving relative to decade ago.

Here is a confession! I try very hard to quit delectable and give it up: But then the wines come along with a personal connection. I visited Silvio in the early 2000‘s and we tried his 2003. Great wine in a hot vintage. His son was born 2003. Ever since i have a soft spot for his wines. # This one is quite spectacular. Drink now it is f….great or keep for 10 years +. Classic. Sold out at Kermit Lynch. I bought just one bottle. 😢 Enough said. — 17 days ago

@Pinotman /// Andreas May I ask why you want to quit Delectable? 
Pinotman /// Andreas

Pinotman /// Andreas

Well I will stay. After these very nice comments. But seriously I like the reviews the folks post on this app they are much better than Vivino.. Reasons. 1.) I am getting up there in age and although this might sound silly drinking is just harder on your body. 2.) This makes it more difficult to sample through a lot of wines - spitting is not my thing! - unless i sample 10+ wines. 3.) I got pretty much into the habit of a glass every night. Not necessarily a good thing.
