Delectable
Château Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1989
This is my 10,000 bottle to add to delectable. We decanted an hour. Perfect cork. Deep dark purple color. Nose of leather, cedar, and dark fruit. Black current, blackberry, spice and tobacco on the palette. Nice long finish of dark fruit. Outstanding! — 2 years ago
Giotto Bini
Serragghia Bianco Secco Zibibbo
Bought this knowing nothing about the wine on recommendation of my Delectable friend Anthony Lombardi, whom I have actually never met (one of the many things I love about this app). My initial reaction to the color and nose was WTF, not having any experience with these wines, but then I got it. Orange rind, over ripe peach, nectarine, apricot, orangina, capers, lemons, spice, sand, bunch of other stuff, all coming from a cloudy, orangish, smoky liquid that resembled what I understood to be wine, and I can’t say there was a finish because I kept tasting it long after it was done. Oh and it changed a lot over several hours. Felt archaic, organic, creative, weird, and natural. Thanks Anthony. — 4 years ago
Freycinet Vineyard
Tasmania Pinot Noir 2015
See many previous Delectable notes but not for this vintage. As stated previously one of Australia’s best Pinots A very aromatic nose of red and black cherry together with root vegetables particularly beetroot. Raspberry flavours - a sweetish palate with a savoury twist. An excellent Tasmanian Pinot Noir and a regular purchase. Also capable of extended cellaring - I recall having a 15 year old one once but it’s hard to resist right now. — 2 years ago

Christian Cholet-Pelletier
Les Enseignères Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2017
@Delectable Wine this is the Les Ensiegneres, not the village Puligny. Cool yellow fruit & ripe apricots with minty nuance. Flinty nose & fresh acid add complexity. Very pretty wine took a little time to open up, but quite generous. — 4 years ago
Château Thivin
Cuvée Godefroy Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2018
See previous Delectable note 90 weeks ago. Aromatics of dried rose petals with a little herbal spice and a note of fudge. Great mouthfeel. Medium weight palate and intensity. More “serious “ than your average Beaujolais. Red cherry and red currant and a touch of liquorice. Light tannins. This has enough stuffing to cellar for a couple more years. — 2 years ago
Chatto Wines
Pinot Noir 2020
No notes made at the time and it was tasted a week ago. This is one of the Cuvées produced by Jim Chatto who was once the chief winemaker at Mount Pleasant in the Hunter Valley and now makes award winning Pinot Noir in Tasmania. Delectable. This is BIRD Pinot Noir. — 2 years ago
Château Quinault
L'Enclos St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2000
My first tasting note on Delectable. Most of the notes of wines from my cellar are on Cellar Tracker. Fabulous surprise. Classic cedar, underbrush, cool reddish black fruits and dark florals. Perfectly medium bodied, medium acidity, fully resolved tannins and well integrated wood, and a long silky and perfumed wood finish. — 4 years ago
Bob McDonald
A pale crimson with a tawny edge - almost transparent. A high quality Pinot Noir from Canterbury wizards Marcel Giesen and Sherwyn Veldhuizen. As I said last tasting note - pale but powerful. As good a new World Pinot Noir as you will find, and this is Bell Hill’s second wine. I can’t improve on the previous Delectable note from October 6 2023. These wines from Bell Hill aren’t cheap but are a lot cheaper than good Burgundy. — 2 months ago
