89-91 Barrel sample. A very pure, citrus-dominated wine with great intensity, spice, fresh fruits and crisp, almost apple-like flavors. Very clean and fresh.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A wine that shows a new, improved direction for this chateau, neighbor of Château d’Yquem. It is impressively concentrated and full of dry botrytis, orange marmalade and sweet pear juice flavors.

84-86 Rather hard, this wine seems likely to be quite dry in style, its sweetness hidden by structure.

86—88 Barrel sample. Rich, concentrated, but with some sugar water element, this is mitigated by its impressive fresh acidity.

93-95 A ripe, balanced wine, the acidity casting a light over the rich apricot, mango and apple juice flavors. Spiced with wood, never excessive.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A smooth, velvet-textured wine with pure sweet orange flavors. There is a lightness and it feels somewhat hollow—the delicacy suggests something is missing. The main attraction here is the pure line of sweet fruit.

89-91 Barrel sample. A firm dry wine, its character dominated by its dense structure. The fruit is just one of the many elements in this concentrated wine.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

While this wine is not powerful, it has elegance to go with the ripe fruit, fresh honey, lemon flavors and a core of dense dryness. With this vintage, Rayne Vigneau seems to be back where its vineyard, next to Yquem, suggests it should be.

A wine that is bright with the freshest orange and lemon flavors, followed by liquid honey and fine apricots. It is perhaps light, but it is certainly delicious.
