89 raymond private reserve or 94 raymond reserve

[newsguy]

was a little curious if anyone else has heard that raymond did a library release of these two wines, the 94 reserve and the 87 private reserve? i grabbed a bottle of the 94 (at $34.99) and was so unimpressed by it that i'm wondering if the distributor lied when they sold it to my regular wine shop, telling them that it was a library release from the winery when in fact the distributor maybe just found a few cases in the back of a non-temperature controlled storeroom. wine wasn't corked or anything, just tasted way over the hill. i've had many better $10 wines. felt like i really wasted my money on this one.
