Château Rayas - Réservé - 2001 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Hauts Doix with concentrated dark fruitRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : The 2001 Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape is more structured and slightly deeper ruby colored than the light colored 2000. It also possesses more acidity as well as depth. This terroir driven effort reveals aromas of raspberries and sweet kirsch as well as a medium bodied, vigorously fresh, lively style. There is also good flavor authority. Blend : 100% Grenache.
