Winner! Been awhile since I’ve been “wowed” by a wine, but this really delivered. It’s everything special about southern France, it’s not a huge wine and had a bit of heat that dissipated by Night 2, but the aromatics and flavor profile was just so spot on, so beautifully complex & engaging, so regionally specific - it was like a textbook. Believe this was about $20 give or take and I’m going back for a case. — 4 months ago

Smoky, meaty, and minty, good but needs lamb. — 2 years ago

Decanted for 30 minutes. Cherry, cranberry, dried strawberries, and leather. Drinking very well right now. This is a great value at $40. — 6 years ago

This was superb in 2008. Elegant and round. Fruit over earth. Nice. — 7 years ago

Just ok wrt expectations. With the exception of La Doriane, not getting much joy from Guigal these days. — 7 months ago

Rich raspberry, blueberry, mineral, smoky, white pepper, and horse sweat notes. Picks up lavender note with more aeration. Tannic, but still balanced and well-integrated. A fantastic everyday drinking wine. — 2 years ago

Another star in Rosenthal book but I’m a bit puzzled by the muted enthusiasm on Delectable. Sure, not the last word on complexity but what glory in classic chard & Macon notes. Rich & minerally mouthfeel, balanced. Yeah, for less than 15$ local. So what’s the problem? — 7 years ago

Way too young but it will develop into something quite remarkable! Bit darker than your average red Burgundy, wild strawberries, cherry, black raspberries, black tea, liquorice and spices. Highly concentrated and delicious. — 8 months ago

Aged southern Rhône plateauing I think. Garique nose. Red fruits on the palate, a bit stewed. I notice rosebottle, figs and wild strawberries. Medium acidity keeps it al in balance. Tertiary flavours all around: sunburnt dirt, leather, smoke, some tobacco, forest leaves. Medium long finish. Lovely wine. — 4 years ago

This was rich, deep with complex layers of fruit and spice that soars out of the glass. A “Wow Wine” & one of the best $50 range Burgundies that I have ever experienced. A producer I buy at all Cru levels that shows purity of fruit & transparency. — 5 years ago

Adding some chill, bottle is showing a little more alcohol than the stated 13% ABV... — 7 years ago
