With some grilled steaks. Opened about two hours prior to dinner then drank slowly over the next few hours. The nose is red fruit. The palate as first was all cherry, as time went on the cherry took a back seat and the dark red plums set in with a touch of tobacco and raw meat. The finish was moderate to long.

3 Day World Headquarters New Year's Celebration (Bloomington, MN): Day 1: Roasted brisket, white pepper, minerals, raspberries, charcoal, spice and underbrush. While not an off the charts Reynvaan certainly a great value via Winebid. 92 points Day 2: This wine is extremely young but showing some more promise on day 2. Roasted brisket, white pepper, charcoal, black olives, spices, rose petals, clay and dust. Medium plus finish. 93 points Day 3: Fading a bit but still nice. Bramble, white pepper, smoke, black olives, tar and earth. This is one of the those wines that is hard to tell whether to drink now or hold but I am going to hold. 91 points Recommendation: I would hold these for 3 to 5 years.

I don’t love it. The nose is great, but the flavor on this wine is too muted, as if it’s past it’s prime. Shame, as I thought this would have 5 or so years left.
I’m all for nuance, but not for watered down fruit. I’d rather spend the money on a bottle of Crozes-Hermitage from Guigal. At least I know what I’m getting from an aged bottle of guigal (most of the time).

en comparaison avec la CR Bonnevaux de Boutin 12. Un peu plus viandé et un peu plus fumé. j'ai bien aimé

Robe bourgogne ambrée. Sur des arômes de fruits noirs, sous-bois, humidité et violette. Amertume présente, manque un peu de corps. A boire
