Not performing as well from bottle as it did from barrel, the 2004 Reignac was tannic, austere, and closed on three different occasions. It should ultimately be better than this note suggests, but at present it is disjointed and angular, with crisp acidity and little fruit. This has been a perennial sleeper, high quality effort, so I suspect it is going through an ungraceful stage of development. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
