Nice rose. A deep berry mouth, more substantial than a lot of rose. Surprised how much I like it. Easy drinkin’ — 3 hours ago

@Dave, that’s exactly (the food, not the wine) what my wife made for that 1989’Raveneau “Butteaux” Chablis I posted last week. Always a fine match for Chablis with 5+ (15.+ for me) years on it!

This could age longer. Deep purple, some tannins still there, plum/ cherry/ some leather. Surprised to see my brother drank the same bottle-vintage a week ago and I just randomly selected this. He was also the source of this acquisition! — a month ago

@Angelo Casagrande, the better Bandol rouges will age a long time (Tempier, etc.), though I know your brother cringes at the idea of holding them 20 years, for example. Of course, it’s all personal preference.

@Tom Casagrande I concur, it was incredible with the steak. Don’t worry @Angelo Casagrande Tom saved a bottle of yellowtail Shiraz for when you pay a visit 👍

Took a while for Delectable to ID. It was a decent CDR, but not ( obviously) all that memorable. Don’t recall vintage. — 20 days ago

About 40% Nebbiolo; the rest PN, Syrah, and Merlot. I generally avoid non Italian grapes in Italian wines because I’m an Italian wine snob. There are hundreds of indigenous Italian grapes. Does everyone really want just the Pinots and Merlots? But this was quite good. A birthday gift from my kids. Fruity, some tannins - I can taste the Nebbiolo. Quite fruity. — a month ago

Honestly, @Angelo Casagrande, I’m with you on the non-indigenous varietal issue vis-a-vis Italian wines.

Me too @Doug Powers But I am a sucker for Gaja's Nebbiolo that has Cab and Merlot in the mix.
