Apricot in color. Soft peach and obeyed notes. On the palate delicate orchard fruit, dried fruit, wet stone, soft fizz, a hit of salinity in the finish. Poised and delicious — 16 days ago

Still holding back after 3 hrs in the decanter. The wine’s concentration and tannic structure promise a wonderful future. At the age of 20, this still feels primary and even hibernating… 😳
I’ll let my remaining bottles sleep for 3-5 years. — 9 days ago

Pretty, bright, purity of fruit, sense of warm earth, beautiful structure, so textural, great balance. Power, a lot of time, yet so alluring now. — 14 days ago

2012 vintage. Courtesy of @romo (nice to see you again). Cork needed very little coaxing for removal. Tasted after 30 minutes open. Savory fragrances. Less acidity than expected given the product/producer but tasted temp was in the upper 40's-low 50's. Light-medium body. A little crisp but not crispy. Could swear there was some Earl Grey in there somewhere dancing with impunity. No overwhelming, final boss component ultimately responsible for the accolades; it was more of a compendium of Etsy subtleties coming across as a hand-crafted effort. This is absolutely firing. And now. Cellar it as expected if you like but not 100% necessary as befitting a few previous vintages over the last three decades. 11.8.26. — 7 days ago

1/2 hour decant(decent sediment). A gorgeous still dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: seductive perfumed notes of dark fruit, smoked meat, funky earth, cigar box, pencil lead, vanilla oak. Taste: savory wine with dried dark fruit, graphite and gravel, iron, and a kinda astringent smokey tobacco finish. Not my cup of tea...maybe bottle flaw. — 15 days ago

Finally a Raffault shows me what it’s got, and it’s not kidding around. Power dissipates on finish. — 16 hours ago

A delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

A great vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that will show itself in the future.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$120. — 22 days ago

I would probably only have this beautiful wine only 10 years later but the 375ml brings things forward, showing why this winter if 2016 vintage is so highly regarded. I think the juice is ready now but will be a long runner for decades — 8 days ago

I had forgotten this bottle in my wine cellar for years. It’s been a long time, but it has aged quite well! — a day ago

Intoxicating nose. Tres Bordeaux, complex, high bore, intriguing. On the palate, this is youthful, red fruited, tart and fresh.
Drinking lovely at the moment. Still has some future. — 9 days ago
