February 3, 2024 - This particular bottle had good development - after some gentle swirling, the strawberries had started integrating well with the spice and smoke. The deep, impactful palate glides effortlessly down the throat on a sheet of silky tannins.
Very enjoyable drink. -

Pure, airy, beautiful and fragrant strawberries and some rose scents. The tannins are beautifully resolved and this comes across as almost sweet. Light color. Not much in the way of tertiary notes.
Hard to believe this is 17 years old. -

May 23, 2022 - Love the cherry, creme brulee thing here. Another good showing, but outclassed tonight by the 2001 Beaucastel CdP.

February 5, 2022 - Opened 24 hours and slow-ox in bottle prior to serving. Signature rayas strawberries notes that I love, very pronounced on nose. Delicious palate and paired very well with steak. Amazing right now just starting its drinking window. I'm sure it will still develop nicely after 5+ years. 95+
