  ... tasted together with the 2012 Rayas, bottle opened 4 h in advance: colour definitely brighter than the ´12, full bright transparent orange Burgundy red, in the nose a pool of red fruits with sour cherries and Cointreau, hints of yellow paprika, gooseberries, licorice, coconut and Christmas cake, great balance of sweetness and acidity, very burgundian, very fine, silky, fresh and complex, mouthfilling, persistent and satisfying, a miracle for the mean vintage, perfect app. 2025 to 2035, 95points

  With supple textures, ripe, sweet red fruits, thyme, pepper and fresh herbs, the wine is medium bodied, refined and silky, with a beautiful, bright, purity of fruit, and a supple textured finish. This should drink well on release.

  Beautiful nose of ripe raspberries, ripe strawberries, hint of grilled almonds... nice acidulated ripe red berries, very feminine and sappy!
