Magnificent — 9 years ago

I feel I have found a treasure for which I have been searching for years. My second Chateau Rayas - first a 2000, now a 2006. It is a perfect wine with a delicacy that reminds me of a beautiful burgundy. Perfect balance of fruit and earth, but restrained so that flowers emerge on both the nose and in the mouth. Just magnificent. Should I tell all of you when my birthday is...? — 10 years ago

Very layered and complex. Oak is dispersed well throughout the aroma and pallet with soft and subtle spices. Fruit is magnificent, again soft. With age this new 2012 vintage should become a little more expressive. — 10 years ago
Delicate and rich with meaty nuttiness. A superfine bead, there is plenty of toast, dried fruit and hazelnut complexity. Magnificent! — 11 years ago

Simply magnificent. Balance clinches it: mineralogy, oak, lean and fleshy. Just wonderful. Great with asparagus risotto and salmon. — 10 years ago
The wine develops in an in consistent way. Some bottles are ready to drink, others need time. All in all a magnificent and old fashioned la Landonne — 11 years ago

2001. The last bottle of the case. Still lots of life left. Magnificent high volume nose of dark fruit, barnwood, leather and other great earthy smells, and the mouth delivers more of the same. Very long finish with layer after layer. I will miss you old friend. You were great. — 8 years ago
