February 2, 2024 - This showed the least well at a tasting of 8 CDP's with a lot of oxidization.
This bottle was clearly not in good condition though there was some interest, the years had not been kind to this bottle. -

December 19, 2021 - Wow - perfectly aged Grenache. Light and transparent. Spicy red berries, some kirsch and anise, polished fruit everywhere. High class juice very reminiscent of its pedigree at Rayas. A really great showing.
