From the celebrated Rayas estate, it has the clarity and finesse that set its wines apart from more overtly powerful Rhône reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright ruby-red in the glass, it opens with intense aromas of raspberry, potpourri and gingerbread, gaining depth and a light mineral edge with air. The palate is full-bodied yet harmonious, with concentrated, juicy red-fruit flavours and impressive clarity. Dusty tannins emerge late, shaping a strikingly long, energetic finish.\n\nIts balance and structure give it the capacity to develop in bottle; at this age, it is likely to be drinking well, though the condition of an individual bottle will matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C with roast lamb, herb-crusted meats, game birds or mushroom dishes.
