Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve 2005

Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve 2005 has a slightly transparent ruby-red color and aromas of garrigue, kirsch, raspberry and smoke. In the air, notes of black tea leaves and licorice appear. The wine is beautifully perfumed, complex and nuanced. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with sweet fruit, a soft, supple texture and a stunning finish. This is a magnificent Rayas that should drink beautifully over the next 20 years.
