Broke out one of my cellared Raffaults for my homeboy who graced me with a home cooked Tuscan styled flank steak w rosemary & arugula, as well as Israeli cous cous w chickpeas, charred tomatoes, feta, & herbs. Light Cadmium red hued & strong color though ( good cork- not a guarantee w Raffault!); dense Hibiscus, fresh raspberry & some bramble on nose; on palate very clean & smooth mouthfeel, with the initial flavors repeated but a deeper blend of red fruits & a stronger presence of under brush. Super fresh & integrated. Elegant, & the Burgundy echo was hard to ignore. Not Uber complex but not monolithic either, which this line of Raffault can be in its youth ( or as it ages). Very impressive, & accessible now. Curious how my ‘02 & 07s will fare… — 19 days ago

Tasted blind while knowing the list of wines. Guessed only the appellation. And it's funny cause I tasted this wine almost a year ago and my notes are pretty much the same. A sophisticated bouquet of Nordic berries, (volatile) horse sweet, cranberry, chocolate and caramel. Juicy, fresh, vibrant, medium-bodied and stylish. Very good balance.

Showing a more elegant & floral style than the past several vintages with notes of berry fruits, violets, mineral, pepper & olive all in a silky texture. — 3 years ago

It’s difficult to believe this is almost ten years old, as it has yet to take on any tertiary aromas. I must fight to take my hands of the couple of other bottles I have from 2014, as I am eager to see how they are when they start maturing. — 4 months ago

Concentrated, fresh, young but filled out and acidity has settled nicely. Yellow and green melon, stone fruit, rocks, honeysuckle — a year ago
