Wow, l'élégance même ! Petits fruits rouge, une bouche hyper rafiné et délicate, le tannin est d'une finesse remarquable, du velour en bouche ! Grand vin
Verticale de Rayas. Un nez complexe, aromatique, tabac, herbes avec de l’air. Bouche tellement soyeuse et fine, encore du fruit, finale un brin plus sèche mais longue et élégante. Mon No 3 sur 6. 94-95 pts
Tasting of 6 Rayas vintage. Gorgeous complex nose, layers of aromas, tobacco, herbs too and lots or fruit of course that we still find on the palate after 27 years, the palate is silky smooth yet with dept, a touch of dryness on the long finish but more charming than disturbing. No 3 out of 6.

Reynaud Tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): Glass: Spiegelau Universal All wines tasted blind/blind, opened a few hours before and decanted right before the tasting. Clear, deep, youthful ruby-garnet color. Dense, warm, spicy nose with some fine, ripe fruit and hints of barn. On the palate the same sweet/sour touch of the Fonsalette, just not that extreme. Some green, harsh notes, rather cool impression. Very fine tannin, great texture, seems still very youthful and not yet fully developed. Long, rather elegant finish. 92-93+

not blind
The alcohol is not really noticeable and well integrated. Nice extract sweetness without any stewed fruits. Close to his peak. 96
