The 2014 Rahoul, which was traditionally known as a white-producing estate, is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a conservative but well defined, gravel-tinged bouquet dominated by "correct" red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, again, a touch foursquare in the mouth but well balanced with still a touch of new oak (one-third) to be assimilated on the finish.
