1984 Opus slightly browning but very good ruby. Opening up nose of cedar cassis Tabacco slight vanilla. Taste is definitely showing some age but expressing power of Napa. Med acid med + body. Tannins mature long finish! Very balanced!! A touch of Brett but only enough to give level of character! — 10 years ago

Lots of brett for one hour. Then super depth with lots of graphite. Still a lot of fruit. — 11 years ago

Floral aromatics with some notes of anise and currant. A little Brett on the palate- but integrated. Cherry cord on the finish with some beautiful tannins. Drink now. — 11 years ago

Youngest Raffault I've ever tasted. Classic expression with a very slight Brett note but wound up very tight. Decant, decant, decant or wait. — 10 years ago

2006. Just getting into gear with plenty of time to go. A good bottle with no brett, great structure and lovely balance with the acidity providing the scaffolding for the fruit. Great with a soy sauce and bourbon- marinaded flank steak. — 11 years ago

Body medium +, Brett, menthol, pepper, strawberry, cherry, earthy, oak. A bit "hot". Bottle is atypical. You can't see content. Great with beef deli. Grown at high altitude. 13.5deg. A very pleasant surprise! Don't buy a bottle by its label. — 10 years ago

1982 Bordeaux First Growth. Great vintage. Color is garnet with some rim variation. On the nose, black fruit, overripe plum, tobacco, spice, chocolate, a bit savory and deep down a minuscule amount of Brett. On the palate, dry, m- acid, silky smooth tannins. Black cherry, dark fruit, minerality, and brine. Definitely not overoaked. balanced beautifully! It took about 30 minutes to open up. A bit funky at first but then the fruit pushed forward. An elegant wine that would pair well with food. I enjoyed it on its own! A chance in a lifetime to drink this wine! #bordeauxwine, #greatwine #greatvintage #rightbank #100pts #wine #firstgrowthbordeaux #frenchwine #lifestooshorttodrinkbadwine #lifeisgood #studywine — 11 years ago
