March 6, 2017 - My first time with this wine but definitely not my last. Has that wonderful elegance that I expect from Rayas. The almost top-level burgundian characteristic where the fruit just dances on the palette. A bit less candied than the regular CdP I've had. But beautiful. Was a touch worried the steak would overpower it, but not in the least - held up well to both the Wagyu and regular meat.
