1990 Château Rayas Côtes du Rhône Château de Fonsalette Cuvée Syrahmore |
6/9/2006 - BradE wrote: NRColorado High Country Part 1. Rayas Mini Vertical.: Flight 6 was two Fonslette's, the 88 and 90. The 1990 was a big beefy wine that really didn't go anywhere. Somewhat unripe and bitter. I have not had the Fonsalette before, so wasn't totally sure what to expect, but this was at best a pleasant wine, and certainly was a disappointment given the vintage. |

The majority seemed to prefer the RSV, I favored the La Romanee. The RSV was darker, the fruit more pronounced. The La Romanee was sexier, more floral, and simply spoke to me more. A nice pairing. |

6/13/2008 - BradE wrote: NRDrunk side by side - the 82 and 86 Chave. Two of us liked the 86 better (by just a bit), the other two thought we were bonkers. The 82 was the hedonist wine it typically is. Somewhat fat, great nose (from 10 feet you could pick it out of the decanter), but not too much bret. Good wine for current consumption, but unlikely to improve. The 86 was much more delineated, clearer, with the Chave nose and palate, but more restrained. Also unlikely to improve. A fun duo. |
