Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2004 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pignan Reserve 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    initially earthy and herbaceous, but opened up beautifully with an expressive nose of framboise and lychee after decanting for a couple of hours.

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    still tightly wound after double decanting for a couple of hours. could be little shut down. structurally longer and more powerful than the Pignan but the latter is more enjoyable at this stage. store away for now.

Flight 3 (1 Note)

  • 1995 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 94 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    didn't have time to decant but still very fragrant with lovely notes of violet and dried herbs. tannins a little harsh on the finish. definitely need to decant for at least an hour next time.

Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 1996 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    lovely floral nose with lots of secondary flavours. a little disappointed with the lightness. lacks power and punch.
