Note di degustazione
Quite a pale ruby. Edgy with quite a bit of acidity and some rather rhubarb notes. This bottle seemed on the way down and seemed to be losing its fruit. (JR)

A wine that once hit the magical three-digit score, it is now in decline. The 1978 started off life slowly, gathered steam, blossomed at age 8-10, and continued to add weight and richness until 1999-2000, when it began a slight decline. Although it is still a spectacular wine, it is no longer perfect. Importers: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173 and Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.

Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Rayas is a cult name in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines – pure, silken expressions of Grenache with distinctive perfume – are revered for their singularity and fiercely collected. Made by Emmanuel Reynaud and renowned for their ageability, they have become some of the region's most sought-after.
