2010 Chateau de Rayne Vigneau 1er Cru Classe 375ml Pre - Arrival Offer
The Chateau Rayne-Vigneau shows a slight chalkiness on the nose that remains very tight despite coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with mango, guava and passion fruit on the entry, broadening out nicely across the palate with a spicy edge, although the finish is, at present, just a little too linear, when I expected fireworks. Hopefully this will develop more volume and chutzpah in barrel.
Score: 89-91

Very pretty 2010 from this estate. Very classic style but a little less opulent than some. I like the notes of oranges, honey and spices. It’s long and racy.
Score: 92-93
