Always fun to drink this with fellow wine lovers, such a fun wine but sad to see the price tag that you have to pay for it now. — 7 years ago

This was the wine of the tasting and weekend. It’s in a perfect place right now. Beautifully integrated, amazing fruits with a lean toward blue fruit with dark cherries, baking spices as they should be in all Napa red...soft, balanced blends and perfectly layered. Bright, beautiful dark florals, nicely balanced, great texture and long beautiful finish. Great experience hosted by my fellow Sommelier and friend, Brian Baker. Thank you for a great day tasting. As well, great to catch up. Lokoya’s new facility is amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice. — 8 years ago

I empathize with fellow drinkers who appreciate this but don't give it impressive reviews but the reality is that this wine is incredible and has to be embraced for what it is. Unbelievably balanced for the blend of varieties. — 9 years ago

Silky smooth, carries its ample flesh with tremendous elegance, lots of red fruits and spice. The warmth of the sun is evident in this wine, but it is masterfully directed in a graceful Aikido or Judo-like style that directs that sunny ripeness in way that comes off as attractive and charming instead of ripe or heavy, very inspirational and instructive for a fellow sunny climate winemaker. — 10 years ago

Recommended by a nice fellow customer who was shopping next to me at Astor Wines...delightfully nutty and oxidized style with the words "unique experience" written all over it. A few varietals that aren't found much in modern Champagne help add to its mysterious nature...more research to be done this evening! — 10 years ago

Thanks so much to fellow Delectable member and Krug ambassador Garth for the excellent Krug seminar at K&L! This bottle was Krug ID 213032 and spent six years on the lees before being disgorged in spring of 2013. It is based on 2006 and composed of 11 vintages going back to 1990. The cepage is 44% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 21% Meunier. — 12 years ago

A delicious swap with a fellow winery from Walla Walla Washington State - I traded a local wine for this amazing 2005 red Bordeaux blend wine.

This wine was kept well, and had just the perfect amount of age and fruit, with aromas and flavors of leather and black dried fruit.

My rating: If you can track down another bottle, I would buy it. As it is, their latest vintages are also quite tasty, too. — 8 years ago

I love the Barthod style but one fellow taster observed that this lacked some Chambolle tipicity. Indeed the animale notes were aggressive. But what great energy and complexity. — 9 years ago

My best bargain find of 2017 so far!

I'm told French people don't like spending over €15 on bubbles & this €16 bottle was given to us by a fellow wine friend in Paris & I have to say in retirement it will do me 👍

This wine is fresh with dark fruit and also some pepper. It is medium body not that much tannins but are very drinkable right from the start! It deserves this high rating due to its low price.

For fellow swedes I recommend trying (at least) one bottle (nr 2861 Systembolaget). — 10 years ago

I tasted through several Corison Napa Valley Cabernets with legendary winemaker, Cathy Corison and fellow wine writers Elaine Brown and Meg Houston Maker. 2012 was the youngest vintage we sampled, as expected it's quite youthful and fresh. Saturating aromas of black cherries, steeped blackberries, violets, and incense. In the mouth the fruit is plump, as is typical of the 2012 vintage, but this element is nicely balanced. It has the structure and stuffing to age, with lovely hints of baking spice and black pepper on the finish. — 10 years ago

9.1

so much wine at only 11% alcohol!
bit sauerkraut at the beginning (but hey, that's a common orange fellow), getting creamy, caramel, blossoms, sexy structure.
my only reservation is, that every vintage is so much different (and 11 my fav) - don't buy it without tasting it. — 11 years ago

Rich luxurious grippy tannin kept me coming back for more. Dark fruits, acidity in check, long dry finish. Perhaps not the most cab savvy in taste/smell which distracted my fellow drinker, but not me. — 11 years ago

Another fabulous Chanin wine 😍

This PN was a lovely warm up to the crazy 🇦🇺 filet steak @ Cut 45 Park Lane, Mayfair

Didn’t take notes as Mrs Es birthday but it was very aromatic, full of balanced fruits with a lovely smooth long finish 👍

Just love their labels 👏

Bit overpriced @ £150 in restaurant but worth it 😁 I’ll try & hunt now to review properly 😎

Happy Sunday fellow wine lovers 😘 — 8 years ago

To quote my two friends @Martin G Rivard and @Mike Rowe this is a bad ass wine eliciting smiles all around (and a great way to start 2017). Parker gave this a perfect score and it is a beauty. Decanting is a must at this point. It's been opening up over the last 4 hours and think it will continue to improve if I can sip more slowly lol. Slightly cloudy, and a bright purple in the glass. On the nose, cassis, vanilla and toast dominate. The sips are long and driven by fruit (blue and blackberries and cassis). Liquid silk in the mouth with sweet tannins and a surprisingly strong acidity. The finish is long. This is a total baby but I had to try it. Happy New Year to all my Delectable friends and especially to my fellow Wine Nerd Herd. I've always believed that sharing wine with friends is the greatest gift and this app has enabled me to do that with friends near and far and connect with some great people. May 2017 be a year of great health and happiness and may all our glasses be full! — 9 years ago

I really like it when I get recos from fellow oenophiles which turn out to be spot on - @Jörgen Lindström Carlvik, take a bow.

In the glass, the wine appears to be very extracted, which I find is a pleasant first indicator. The wine coats the glass, demanding your attention.

The nose is pristine, yet urgent. Cigar notes, cherries and dark fruits are perfectly integrated.

On the palette, I'm in raptures. This is a seamless example which is tight, compact and dense. It has a viscous mouthfeel, finishing with polished tannins and a touch of sweetness.

This is a brilliant effort, which is begging for bottle age. Thanks to Jorgen, I've finally found a Sangiovese which does not require me to sell my house to buy a bottle (you get my point).

Paired with my own Sheppards pie (made from scratch). Don't hate the player, hate the game! — 10 years ago

With all due respect, this is seriously under-rated by my fellow Delectable oenophiles. It's a Rhone, so you need to want this. It's not for everyone. Prior tasting notes still hold (cherry, meat, barnyard; smooth and supple). Barnyard perhaps a bit more prominent from last tasting. One of the best values you can buy. Stock up. — 10 years ago
