Note di degustazione
Looks quite mature – mid ruby. Very open and stinky/funky – almost Beaucastel-like! (It was served blind.) Some tasters might discard this wine because of assumed brett. 26 Jun 2004 (JR)

This dark ruby/purple-colored wine displays the essence of cherry, kirsch, and Provencal herbs in its nose. Quite full-bodied, this large, fleshy wine reveals corpulent, sweet, expansive, rich flavors that linger on the palate. It is a lavishly rich Cotes du Rhone, with a thick texture and enough alcohol and soft tannin to keep it going for a minimum of 8-12 years. A great bargain.

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.
