2003 vintage. Medium garnet, star bright. Pronounced mineral crushed rock, animalistic and leathery, red fruit and savoury profile. Herbal teas and cloves. On the palate, ripe red fruits - strawberry, cranberries and red currants. Medium minus acidity and medium tannins - round and ripe. Medium plus alcohol. Magnificent long finish. For an '03, this is still on the way up as the fruit is still very much alive. For Rayas lovers, the wine does justice to the domaine and although I have had better vintages, you will not be disappointed. One criticism is that's touch more acidity would have made this wine fabulous.
