Predominantly Grenache with a fair bit of cinsault, meatier than his famous brother Rayas but still a great Côtes du Rhône. Drink now.

Phenomenal. The vintage is starting to hit its drinking window, with a richness that has been tamed down by time. Nose is 100% Reynaud, aromatics are delicate but full scale, and finish never ends. This is intoxicatingly good.

Riper fruits, muscle, pepper. Nice balance and refreshing finish.

The rayas fingerprint is very strong, but so is the vintage. The fruit is definitely sweeter and riper than in other vintages, but still fresh and very well made wine.
