11/25/2020 - Haggis wrote: 88 pointsThis is a very young wine, so any comments need to be taken with that in mind. It does have some good fruit (mostly blackberry, blueberry, and a hint of tea). The problem is that it has no tannic structure to indicate that it is built for the long haul. It almost completely devoid of tannin, actually. One issue with these de Negoce wines is we have no idea what they are. The "fun," I suppose, is trying to figure that out. We'll never know. However, for the price, this is not bad. I'll just say that it is mediocre (but not bad) and that it is not likely to age gracefully. I suggest holding for a year, then drinking up in the following 3-5 yrs. A good "cellar defender" if nothing else.

En espérant que ma dernière sera meilleur, il y a une bonne marche en les villages et 1er cru de Ramonet à mon avis personnel.

7/16/2021 - ledocq Likes this wine: NRBasically took it off the truck and drank it then and there. All that they say below - great stuff, punches so far above its price point it's silly, goes well with spicy food, and seems from the way it develops over a couple of hours that it will age a bit. One thing de negoce has made me think about is that even if something is $11 and drinks like a $40/50 wine, who cares if you don't like the flavor profile? There are plenty of $40/50 chardonnays that don't excite me, even when I get them at a discount from (say) K&L. This one is terrific. If i tasted it blind, I'd want to buy it. Thanks to everyone over at berserkers who said to pick up a case.

8/4/2020 - ozziewine Likes this wine: 94 pointsGood call by EMTAME on drinking the Becklyn Napa/non-appelation Cabs sooner than later. I can attest to that belief having had the 2014 through 2017 vintages and all drank well early, though they might need some air.

1/23/2020 - texanoblues Likes this wine: NRDeep red and opaque, with black center. On the nose and palate was smoke, black fruit, flowers, and licorice. Extremely rich, without being too dense. Nicely balanced structure with ample acidity and very fine tannins.

2015 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d'Abruzzomore |
3/29/2020 - cct wrote: 93 pointsMid golden color. Bitters, fruit pith, persimmon, lemon oil (stealing this perfect descriptor from MAOC), herbal tones, and chalk on the nose. Mid plus weighted, toothsome and a little chewy with plenty of dry extract that is balanced with acidity and density of fruit. Persimmon, peach pit, lemon Pledge, chalky, seashell, and grassy notes add to this idiosyncratic palate. I often have a hard time describing Pepe's trebbiano, but rarely trouble identifying it. A pretty singular, super interesting and eclectic wine. The richness of the year is evident, and a couple years ago I thought it was too rich and fat. This has settled in very nicely into a toothsome, chalky, mineral and savory more than fruit driven complicated and intriguing wine. Drinking very well in a youthful way. I am more optimistic about this wine than I was on release. Outstanding. 93
