Slightly oxidized on the nose , I felt this was eventually replaced by earth and funk. The palate was full of complex secondary flavors but fruit was putting up a fight. Some tasters felt this bottle was over the hill.
One thing this tasting confirmed to me, when it comes to Rayas never believe the first taste.
