Issue Issue 96

Full ruby-red. Nose of roasted tobacco, mocha and currant offers considerable sex appeal. Silky, vinous and long on personality; warm iron and graphite notes add complexity to the red and black berry flavors. Very rich and deep. Finishes quite long, with lovely dusty tannins. With his third commercial release, Raynaud has produced a wine that proves the high quality potential of his site.

Drink Dates 2005-2017

This elegant, exotic, lush, medium-bodied, Burgundian-styled St.-Emilion boasts great complexity along with an enticing perfume of blueberries, blackberries, and flowers. Although it does not possess a great deal of weight, it offers pure fruit, sweet tannin, and no hard edges. This is a textbook example of Bordeaux at its richest and most elegant. It will be delicious in a few years, and evolve gracefully for 14-15 years.

A wine with harmony. Extremely aromatic, with violet, berry and spice character. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a long berry, vanilla aftertaste. A bit more fruit in the center-palate would make it outstanding. 2,915 cases made.

Really enjoyed this. Dark, rich, black fruits, with mocha and tobacco notes. Not a powerhouse, but very good regardless. Great with the grilled steaks.

Better than expected. Lovely scents, moderate body and finish, tannin evolved.

Pulled from the cellar in a random grab. Dark and concentrated red. Considering the Reynaud-Parker connection and so forth, I was not expecting much. Then I recalled my surprise at liking this several years ago. Similar experience today - no lack of concentration, but rather elegant, almost crisp. Oak is unmistakable, but integrated. The small amount of cab franc (20%) neatly counters the 70% merlot. Refreshing rather than overpowering.

I am extremely disappointed with this wine?s current performance - I've laid down a few cases of this wine in my personal cellar. It was considerably better on release. The nose is completely dumb and only with considerable effort can some gamy fruit be coaxed out of it. The structure remains impressive and there is good fruit concentration but the nose is very muffled at present. 70% Merlot, 15% Franc, 10% Cabernet, and 5% Malbec.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
