Apples and citrus on the nose. Crisp and acidic palate with a long smooth finish with more notes of apple. It makes a wonderful cold glass on a hot summer day. For $7.99 at Costco, this is a bulk buy. — 9 months ago

61 DORADO EN RAMA. Espectacular solera de verdejo y palomino. Todo un trampantojo Cádiz-Rueda. El vino de la corte de los Reyes Católicos, por 25€ se puede beber un poco de historia. — 3 years ago

From the great Henri Bonneau, along with Château Rayas, the master of CDP. (He and Jacques Reynaud were actually dear friends). It’s insanely expressive and its ultra intense aromatics leap from the glass.

The complex bouquet is layered with rich black and red fruit, leather saddle, wilted violets and savory herbs. It just floats on the palate with its supreme elegance, caressing texture and weightless intensity. So Burgundian in that sense. The finish is so long, lifted and intense, leaving you craving another sip when its flavors finally do dissipate. 04 Célestins is a total knockout. — 4 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат кожи, чернослива, инжира и эвкалипта. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и заметной горчинкой во вкусе. Мощное, животное, чуть грубоватое. — 7 years ago

From 375. Huge amount of sediment that most of the usual dark pigmentation of the wine is gone ... looks like Rayas. The barnyard funk is there but blows off in a few minutes. Very good depth with spice and hints of garrique and fruit. Wow 30 year old half bottle! — 8 years ago

Rayas, but not Rayas. More like effusion Rayas. Tasty, but pricey 😑 — 8 years ago

Old Grenache vines always top. The masculine Rayas ? — 8 months ago

Get out the thesaurus because I do not have enough adjectives to describe this wine. A similar wine to Rayas in that both wines share characteristics, which if you are being blinded, leads you to Burgundy. Has that wonderful iron fist in a velvet glove texture. Wonderful florals, and red fruit, soar out the glass like a SpaceX launch. In the mouth, the telltale structure that all great wines have. On the palate, waves of complex fruit, earth and perfectly judged acid and tannins caress your taste buds. A long layered finish that will have you shaking your head. A big thank you to the sommeliers . — 2 years ago

Light straw color. Aromas of lychee, minerals and a sea breeze. Lemon, green melon, and saline flavors. Mouth watering acidity! Just a bit of harshness on the finish. — 4 years ago

Love these wines! So allocated it's been a long time since I've had the Pialade from Emmanuel Reynaud and the Rayas estate! There can be lots of bottle variation but this was a good one. — 9 months ago

One glass and I did not open the whole bottle. Still I am not disappointed. So far one of the best Chateauneuf-du-pape I had except for Rayas. I am wondering how it wilm evolve. Sor far we have dark fruits, a bit of spices and quite à long finish. I am also surprised that such a wine is pretty much unknown. — 3 years ago

An outstanding Cotes-du-Rhone from the guys who make Rayas. Rich, spicy aromatics lead a voluptuous and sexy, earthy core of mushroom and strawberry fruit. Not a hard edge anywhere. Superb. Thanks, Mark! — 7 years ago
