Black berries and plum throughout with roasted meat and herbs de provence, this is just barely entering its peak drinking window. A powerful wine just showing balance, this will be a treat for a decade+ to come, with 91-92 point upside from here.

Decanted and served. A touch shy for a wine that all of us expected so much more ( especially for the price) and this is slowly for us becoming a similar situation with the second wines of Rayas (same with Clos des Papes Red, not the white to be clear) that have gone up in price but not really reflecting the level of the wine. This is not to be compared with his main wine. Soft yet also with good rich presence, shy on the nose, round and not in any way sharp or angular just not singing the tune we wanted. 91

Rich and full bodied, with creme de mure, raspberry and plum flavors with a touch of game on the finish- made to drink earlier than the top release - but still this is a world class syrah on its on.

Still a little young but looks promising. Noticed some nice elements though little tame on the palette and nose. *4th night really opened up palette and nose. Very balanced with a nice fresh acidic line. Great bottle, recommend.

Very good; still super young, but enjoyable with ribeyes on the grill.
