| Rating | RP 99 - 1995 Chateau Rayas Reserve CDP - 99 Pts! I have had the 1995 Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape four times since it was bottled and can state unequivocally that it is the quintessential Rayas. The wine is extraordinarily concentrated with an unbelievable concentration of ripe black raspberry cherry and kirsch flavors that are not dissimilar from a great vintage (i.e. 1947 1950 1982) of the famed Pomerol Chateau Lafleur. It possesses an old vine intensity multiple layers of richness and admirable structure as well as surprisingly fine acidity. This is a phenomenally compelling but backward Rayas that is more concentrated than the 1990 and yes as ageworthy as the surreal 1978. Owners should resist drinking it for another 4-5 years; it will last for 20-30 years. This is among the most awesome young wines I have tasted this year. RP |
