Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg Does not like this wine: 63 points

  December 28, 2018 - Noxious. Like Robitussin. Not only in the sense that it literally tastes like Robitussin, but the sensation is *just like* those kids medicines that taste so vile they have to add a ton of sweetness to make it possible to force even a tiny bit down the gullet, which instead of masking the grossness just makes it taste both gross and grossly sweet.

Not perhaps a leftover from Ruby? :) A genuine, perfect bottle of Rayas from a top vintage like 2007 even young is for sure 90+, even if one doesn't like the style. Otherwise it is faulty and should not be rated with 63pts on CT. By the way: Why 63 and not 58 or 71? Just my 2 cents.
