Opaque purple color.The nose displays aromas of raspberry, cassis and chocolate intermixed with licorice, forest floor and vanilla. Medium bodied, the palate offers sweet berry, pepper and notes of earth, surrounded by well defined acidity. The tannin are fine and dry, lingering through to the finish. Though it drinks well now with a good decant, t his wine could use another 2-3 years in the bottle, and can be enjoyed over the next 6-10 years. Kudos to another winner from this Bordeaux favorite!

One of the strongest Reignacs from proprietor Yves Vatelot, in 2009 this over-achieving estate has turned out a modern-styled Bordeaux with a viscous texture and notes of coffee bean, black currants, earth and vanillin in a delicious, front end-loaded, yet surprisingly deep, textured, full-bodied wine. It should drink nicely for 5-6 years, possibly even longer, although I am always skeptical of a generic Bordeaux that lasts much longer than a decade.
