There is no point drinking any other CDP. And the ‘06 is a follower to the ‘05, ‘07, ‘08 and ,09. But what a magnificent wine. Fruit has calmed down and integrates with earth. And the Rayas pepper is there. Cannot mistake this wine for anything else. Simply stunning.

Give it a hard decent and let the funk blow off. Will rose about 30ish minutes. Then enjoy your hard earned money with a beautiful Grenache. Lovely. Hard to swallow the price but the chest puffing you get to do the next day is almost worth it. 🤣

Wedged in between the monumental 2005 and 2007 this wine is more delicate but again a true Rayas. Perfect balance, strong kirsch tones and this endless perfume which comes with a sexy Rayas. Reynaud and Bonneau two opposite wines, both great, for me forget all the rest in red chateauneuf. What a joy and privilege to be allowed to drink this.

Very Burgundian and quite emotional wine! In a beautiful spot but no rush to enjoy this. Easily will make old bones.

My first Rayas and hopefully not my last. Such a delicate expression that no other CDP producer can do as well!

Hitting all kinds of spots. Yum , yum. Could use another couple of years but with 30 minutes of breath it was singing.
