Oh man. Gimme mo! Big, rich, savory as all hell but balanced by that deep pure fruit one expects from a name like Graillot. I love the purity Maxime gathers with increased de stemming, perhaps a longer soak?? Black olive, beef blood, venison, fur, smoke, plump black cherry and plum, smoke, melange of herbs; sage, tarragon, thyme. Licorice and violet too. Very gravelly mineral notes throughout. This will be so good in 5+ years but who can resist a 2015 thats this promising right now. — 7 years ago

Very dense ruby. Pronounced aroma. 1st nose of blackcurrant jam, wood followed by earth, spices, grass. Fresh & bit of flowers. Development w/ black fruits, pencil shavings & black lead. Blend: ~70% CabS. Vibrant rich full-bodied palate supporting the nose. Lively tannins, good acidity. Still looks young in 9 yrs age but can drink now. 2nd label of 2nd growth Château Ducru Beaucaillou from separate & distinct vineyard. Blended during 1st racking. Matured for 12 mo in 20-40% of new barriques. Rating 4,1/5 — 8 years ago

#wine is crazy Friulian. Definitely some RS with insane acid. Chardonnay, with the flinty, grassy, cat-pee qualities of Sauv. Gift from Mo who said "enjoy it over the night, it evolves." It does... — 10 years ago

Killer Fleurie, popped one about 4 mo. back, very good then, tonight even better. Six more bottles in hiding for at least 3-5+ years to settle some of the acidity, otherwise this is a perfect bottle. — 8 years ago

One of my favorite dinners was on the menu here at Chez Skip - cassoulet! And my knowledge of wine pairing is as sophisticated as a toddler eating spaghetti, I said to myself - hey I am eating French food and I like this French wine, so hey why not? And that was that. But as wine can be, it evoked its memory of when I had it first. I remember sitting out in the patio and being impressed with it. I thought to myself I could really enjoy French wines, but as history has shown, that was clearly a short lived notion.

Knowing it had been some time, I had an odd feeling, so I checked my Delectable history. Indeed, this was the very first wine I had rated!

So, to my friends, do you remember your first wine on here? Was it anything memorable? @philip Angino @Martin A.

Fantastic Cabernet. Balanced like most Italian cabs but with a bit of a nod to the body you would find in American style cabernets. Mo wonders why I didn't bring 2. — 8 years ago

French night tonight.
Excellent second label from Angelus, from the 05 breakout vintage.
Lovely notes of jam compote, cinnamon and barrel toast. On the palette, notes of sweet tobacco, black raspberries and soy sauce. Outstanding texture with ripe tannins. For a second wine, we were blown away. Good luck trying to locate this on the open market.
Thanks @Mo Salem for bringing this gem! — 8 years ago

Really like it. Not acidic almost at all. A little apple juice-y and sweet which is nice. Valentine's day belated celebration. Tom bought it at the sketchy liquor store next to lucky 97. Says 92 points on wine enthusiast. Really simple label that just says Sergio so I took a pic of the back. — 10 years ago
