Somewhat a vintage I did not have the best experiences with in Rhone (including the top producers), but damn Rayas well exceeded my expectations. Spicy cherry fruit on the nose, quite sweet, almost liquor-like, with a bright core just glowing with its charm. Weightless and lifted on the palate. Barely any edge, so smooth, yet with its incredible flow of energy going all around. To be fair, still lighter than even other vintages of Rayas, but this is a major success, and very ready to drink today. 94
