  Good but not the usual Tours epic experience. This bottle was a bit unbalanced. Decanted 5 hours in advance. This was enjoyed but didn't leave us speechless - as the 2000 Tours CdR Blanc that preceded it did.

  Reynaud wine tasting, Pure Spirits (Gallina restaurant): the bottle was opened and left uncorked for 24 hours

  The wine shows really low intensity, very hard to find anything, very closed, there are some dried red fruit notes, thin spice layer, thin oak layer, with some black olive notes standing at the back.
  Palate showing dark fruit, black cherries and currants, bold but elegant tannins in the same time, there is a strong herbal bitter element here hiding behind the juicy fruit, showing full body, med finish

  Drank at 67
  Had it beside an 01 Clos de Papes. Held it's own and is definitely in a good place. Drink and be happy

  Agree with others this is in a good place now. Definitely has the classic Tours perfume and lifted spice. Not sure what further development this has as all components seem open and accessible - but a bit disjoint. Unlike most Tours/Rayas bottles I've opened this didn't evolve with air. Will be dreaming about the beautiful endless finish.

  Excellent vin, à maturité.
  Le vin est bien fondu, on ne ressent pas le côté trop chaleureux parfois présent sur cette cuvée.
