Reignac Vertical; 2/7/2016-2/24/2016: Worst bottle of Reignac yet. Nose of acetone and a whiff of vanilla. Totally smooth palate, coming off as quite lightweight. Faint tannins linger on the back of the tongue, along with a somewhat bitter, metallic aftertaste. Not overtly offensive in any regard, but rather thin and characterless- like the anonymous house Bordeaux served by-the-glass in a bistro. Hard to believe that this was the wine that bested Cheval Blanc and Haut-Brion in a blind tasting back in 2008. The vertical continues with the 2004; notes to follow.

Tobacco, leather, minerals and red currants. Pleasant and a good value.

My last of these and this is still drinking well. Pop and pour to accompany moose burgers.
