1978 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 97 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
dark and very youthful, especially compared to the 69 and 71 in same flight. unmistakable traits of a top rayas: rich, intense, earthy. long finish with robust structure. superb.

1969 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 93 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
popped and poured. outshone by 71 and 78. not as expressive and a fading a little. but surprisingly I thought it became better after an hour. almost a second lease of life.

1971 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 96 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
popped n poured. much lighter colour than the 78. immediately expressive. floral and sweet, almost burgundian. charming.

Flight 3 (3 Notes)
1990 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 99 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
uncorked a couple of hours earlier but not decanted. intoxicating bouquet with intense ripeness, stewed fruits and baked spices. might be too overpowering for some tastes but that's what rayas 90 is all about. mindblowing.

1979 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 96 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
opened for 2 hours without decanting. complex and classy. perhaps just a notch behind the legendary 78 but much better value for money! loved it.

1983 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 95 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
opened for 2hrs without decanting. powerful with great structure. not as alluring as 79 and not as exotic as 90 in same flight, but still very classy juice.

1990 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon
France, Champagne
quite tight to start. better after an hour. white wine glasses rather than flutes preferred.
