Château Rayas
Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Needs few comments. Seems like a lot of alcohol but not distracting, wild black berries , quite a masculine rayas. Years left in it. My favorite CDP together with bonneau’s reserve des celestins (the polar opposite)

Tasted blind and really liked it. I don’t know about this wine and current prices but it is always really pretty and unique

Lunch in Alsace. The 2009 Château Rayas reminds me of the legendary 1990. Although the high alcohol is apparent, the wine is in complete harmony. Medium garnet colored, the nose exhibits a wide array of dried herbs, ripe, almost jammy strawberries and raspberries, red currant, red cherries, iodine, savory notes and earth. On the palate, the high level of concentration is head spinning, but there is just enough acidity to keep everything balanced. The 2009 Château Rayas will evolve gracefully for two or more decades and ranks among the finest vintages of this estate.

Beaucoup trop jeune ce 2009 malgré aération. Va bonifier dans quelques années
