Tasted blind. Light gold color. Leesy old white burg nose. Notes of stones, pit fruit, a little apricot and some honeydew melon. Luscious fruit in the mouth with fine grained acidity. Builds its impact with air. Great wine. Guessed 90 Bonneau du Martray CC. — 6 years ago
Tasted blind. Medium gold and like motor oil in the glass. Notes of lemon, lime blossoms, white stone and a little vanilla. Very glycerol in the mouth. Great balance of acidity against the fatness of the fruit. Long finish. I guessed 90 Bonneau du Martray CC. — 7 years ago

Dark fruit. Meaty. Crazy aromatic. — 4 years ago
Extremely distinctive CDP. Very finessed and elegant. Reminds me of Henri Bonneau. Still needs some time though so if drinking now decanting would be strongly recommended. — 6 years ago
Wow. After 30-45 minutes open it started to open itself up and revealed an incredibly complex wine. Smells like Provence (herbs and a. It floral). Beautiful fruit and dizzying aftertaste of subtle flavors I can’t begin to identify and describe. A keeper. — 7 years ago
not as fresh as the 96 bonneau, and pretty sweet 07 fruit but still so rayas — 8 years ago
Very nice smooth blend. Excellent value. — 9 years ago
Medium gold in color, slightly darker than the 86 Bonneau du Martray next to it. Heavy in the glass. Sweet floral nose. Notes of sweet kiwi fruit, lemon curd, apple cider and white acacia flowers. Lacked acidity at first but with many hours of air this powered up. Last sip was the best. I preferred the other whites to this, but was happy to see this improve so much during the evening. We discussed this being Vincent Leflaive’s last vintage, and sadly this was the last bottle in my cellar of 86 Leflaive. (Bday 4 of 12) — 4 years ago
100% Grenache. Sweet red cherry fruit, garrigue and Provençal herbs. Second best to the ‘88 Bonneau Beurrier for me in this tasting. — 7 years ago
Wedged in between the monumental 2005 and 2007 this wine is more delicate but again a true Rayas. Perfect balance, strong kirsch tones and this endless perfume which comes with a sexy Rayas. Reynaud and Bonneau two opposite wines, both great, for me forget all the rest in red chateauneuf. What a joy and privilege to be allowed to drink this. — 7 years ago
Fuckin eh. Beautiful Saint Emilion! Great year! — 8 years ago

Smooth, soft tannins, something that could still sit for another few years or consumed now with a great smile. — 3 years ago
