I bet it was a real brute of a wine (not that it is exactly tame now, but it is showing some charm and much promise). Looking at the minimum/maximum scores from that tasting, it obviously impressed at least one person (with a maximum score of 20) but the average score of just over 14/20 and last place suggested that quite a few hated it! <br /><br />Of the two wines, I probably marginally preferred the Ravanes, but it was a close call - and the Ravanes is more evolved, whilst Les Brunes seemingly has more to offer in a few years' time.<br /><br />As to Baruel, I have loved the few I have had, and it is a real shame this estate ceased to exist a good few years ago.Leon Stolarskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277390017788435310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-26922912742980504762012-02-12T09:31:20.419+00:002012-02-12T09:31:20.419+00:00Have to say these were a couple of wines from La V...Have to say these were a couple of wines from La Vigneronne's range that didn't inspire me at the time - I tried them several times at their tastings. I recall they als seemed relatively pricey at time. The only 1998 Languedoc I have is Baruel and Daumas Gassac. Both atypical as they has Cabernet Sauvignon. The Baruel is ageing well but I've yet to try the Daumas Gassac case (it's supposed to be on of the better efforts of the decade, we'll see).Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282937250538290233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-88621216531456886312012-02-11T17:10:50.695+00:002012-02-11T17:10:50.695+00:00Will do!Will do!Leon Stolarskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277390017788435310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632929314036232391.post-76736351551016910912012-02-11T16:35:39.423+00:002012-02-11T16:35:39.423+00:00Love violets in Cabernet.
