2015ChateauRayneVigneauPre-ArrivalOffer

Sans Other reviews…The 2015 Rayne-Vigneau has a more understated bouquet this year – biding its time, a little timid at first, but opening to offer white flower and acacia scents that are well defined. The palate is fresh and crisp with good mineralité and tension. This saves the fireworks for the end with real race and class, that spicy finish lingering long in the mouth. This has great potential.93-95 pointsNeal Martin – eRobertParker.com #224 (Apr 2016)

An unctuous style, with almond and hazelnut cream notes up front, followed by marmalade, candied citrus rind, glazed peach and pear notes. Offers a long, lush finish. For the hedonist crowd.92-95 pointsJ.M. – Wine Spectator

Inviting nose of lime, white pepper and aromatic herbs. Rich, dense and tactile palate with honeyed flavours of tropical fruit and caramel. Plump and juicy, with a long, chewy finish, but marked by a drying quality.90 pointsDecanter

Very dense and powerful with dried lemon and apple aromas and flavors. Full body, very sweet and flavorful. Dried mushroom and walnut undertones at the finish.93-94 pointsJames Suckling
