Drinking well 14 yrs later. Lots of structure and depth here for a Cali Pinot- pretty yummy juice, decent fruit, weight and mod acid to balance things — 6 months ago

Gehricke, Sonoma Coast, Pinot Noir, vintage 2017. ABV 14.2%. 🍷

Only 2,038 cases produced of this wine. 💕 I love how the bottle has handwritten notes from the winemaker “production notes: aged 9 months, French oak, hand-picked, small-lot.”

And this wine has prominent fruit aromas and flavors including black cherry, raspberry, fig, strawberry rhubarb, also violet, molasses, clove, nutmeg, and vanilla.

It’s delicious and ripe, perfect for a porch sunset situation ☀️ — 5 years ago

2003 Pinot Noir, Nysa Vineyard, Ken Wright Cellars. I absolutely adore old pinots. A bouquet of dark chocolate and earthy mushrooms. This unfiltered and very small batch (literally handwritten label) left a bit of sediment in the glass! I live seeing that! 10/10 just wonderful. — 8 years ago

Holy shit, is this real?!!

2015. Tasted twice — first in September from the barrel at the Domaine and then in Los Angeles in February, still a cask sample. Huge progress, absolutely dreamy wine, superb quality, most beautiful of pallets (I've never had a chance to taste a wine so young twice in 6 months), captivating, charming and heart-breakingly gorgeous, it had me on the hook like a junkie waiting for more. And that cute handwritten "1" on the label just adds to the picture. — 9 years ago

Great late spring evening to have some vino to go along with the wagyu cooked on the salt rock…mmmmmmmmmmm…. Tannins still a little tight - wouldn’t hurt to cellar 3-5 more years . Thanks to @Kevin Robbins for the gift. — 4 years ago

Really unfortunate to get a barrage of ads for unrelated products (video games) while trying to input this, @Delectablewine Delectablewine. I understand the need to monetize, but seriously, optimize your targeting a bit better than that. We expect a bit more intelligence from an app devoted to sharing and appreciating fine beverages. Overstuffing the free version--that many of us have been using for years--with unrelated ads to prod us towards paid premium only builds ill-will. I'm considering going back to handwritten wine journals à la Michael Broadbent, or even Instagram.

This baby Brunello is well-integrated, full of luscious dark cherry and leather notes. Medium finish. Should develop well over ten years. — 9 years ago

Absolutely delicious, love it. Don’t want to transcribe my handwritten notes, but lots of fruit, some clear minerals, and a fresh balancing acidity. Creamy cassis is the clearest impression. 93. — 2 years ago

Last dinner in France, last wine to taste. This wine was given to me by someone but I don't remember who. It was in my father's cellar with a handwritten note "Daniel's wine".
There is tar, cedar, black currant and blackberry, cocoa and mocha on the nose. The palate is very well made with a great acid drive, some nice width, a beautiful black currant and blackberry fruit shining through and through, a soft mouthfeel giving way to some already nicely integrated tannins in the rear, living a grain and powering up some savory tastes, almost meaty, and a nice finish that goes on for a while. Very nice bordeaux! — 2 years ago

I promise this is the last of 17 wines I tasted at De Martino. Also, the end of reading and retyping my handwritten notes vs. copying and pasting into Delectable. Additionally, last day of slow Wi-Fi. Yeah!

On the nose; slightly sour, ripe fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, strawberries, blue hues, touch of pyrazines, vanilla and red florals.

The body is full. The tannins meaty. Dark cassis, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, strawberries, blue hues, dark cherry licorice, savory meats, smoke, dark soil, crushed rocks, loamy dry top soil, dry stems, good acidity and a nicely balanced, round finish.

The word "primeur" on the front label was handwritten by Bouju. It is mostly the same cuvée as the standard Violette... just a bit fresher and glouglou-er. It was specially bottled to Stephane Planche from Les Jardins de St Vincent in Arbois. — 9 years ago
