95 Points

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 - A few epic bottles in July: This pours light garnet in the glass with light bricking. The nose is massively complex and mature showing a lovely profile that unfurls while tasting: sweet cedary undergrowth, brown mushroom, brine, black olive, dried lavender, animal fur, wet churned soil, peanut shell, burlap, and pickle. The palate is deep and rich, showing expansive cherry. Tannin is medium minus and acid is medium. The finish closes nicely showing some the CdP origins with elevated ripeness and alcohol poking through a tad. All in all this is a very nice Rayas, and definitely better than my previous bottle of the '88.
