2019 Chateau Le Reysse
Overview:
Stephan bought this chateau several years ago and has worked to make the wines better each year. He has put a lot of effort into making great wine and with the 2016 vintage he has exceeded expectations. His Chateau is down the street from Chateau Greysac in Bagadan and benefits from the same terroir, but Le Reysse is a far better wine.
Bob's Review:
Love the nose. Classic Bordeaux! This is really interesting, WOW! I like this a lot and it has huge potential. Dense and complex. Really love this. Could drink this all night. Deep cocoa and black cherry.
