1997 Schweiger and Raymond Reserve

[winoweenie]

Opened the Raymond for lunch yesterday. Keen nose of brite red fruits,sweet spices, some leather and a tiny bit of flowers. All came over on the palate. After an hour in the glass the mouthfeel expanded and the finish fleshed out. Went from a 3&1/2 to a solid 4 lapper. Excellent wine with some soft tannins barely showing up. Rite at TTOIG and should hold for at least 5-7. 91/95 24+ by the box. 14.5% alc. Good Stuff! WW
