Château Rayas--Vintage 1998
Rhône. Château-bottled
Not in original wooden case
Tasting note: the fabulous 1998 Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape will rank alongside such recent prodigious efforts as 1995, 1990, and 1989...The 1998 certainly exhibits a dense, concentrated, dark ruby/purple color, with that fabulous essence of raspberry jam and kirsch well-displayed. It is full-bodied with considerable volume and power, as well as a gorgeously long, 40 + second finish. This wine should require 5-6 years of cellaring, and may turn out to be more structured and massive than the 1995. Make no doubt about it, the 1998 is a sensational Rayas !.Robert Parker Newsletter
