The 2004 Cuvee Raphael seems slightly more restrained than the Patricia, but it is a relatively big wine for a 2004 with a deep ruby color to the rim and floral, blackberry and cherry notes intermixed with pepper and hints of balsam and resiny notes. The wine is medium-bodied, crisp, and solidly made. It should drink well for 5-6 years. An Alain Corcia Selection, various American importers, including Charmer Industries, NY; tel.
