200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Pirate bottle. Aaah what a nose. Ripe rich but not oxy very good farmyard funk, a bit too soft on the palate, but so fragrant. Rayas frangrance and everyone else at the table can go home. unfortunately it is no secret anymore and the wines went from 400$ to 2k in one year... :-). If Parker was wrong on ONE wine then it was Rayas.

What can maybe top a 904 from 2001? no easy way out, try this one! This one is all about finesse, so sublime, basket full of blossoming flowers, white pepper, underlaying red fruit, very delicate and fine on the midpalate, extremly long aftertaste, but this perfect balance......, never would have guessed about an 22 years ols wine blind, so chewy the spice and fruit, so "warm" and delicate the fruit, enjoy or hold another decade++, next bottle close to perfection! ****(*)
