About as perfect as wine gets. Leaving the extra point out there in case this can improve as I think it very well might. The perfect wine (at least for me) is extremely powerful but not at all heavy, extremely sweet but never cloying, aromatically complex but unbelievably clear on what it delivers and something that lingers on the palate for a long time and in your memory for much longer. The rayas was all these things. Sweet, concentrated, ethereal. Cherry , Asian spices, potpourri on the nose. In a word, perfect.
