The red wine Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, vintage 1978 from the winery Château Rayas has been rated in 2012 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Grenache from the region Côtes du Rhône in France.
Medium carmine-garnet colour, broad watery rim. Very attractive nose, delicate balsamic touch, background with fine sweet cherry fruit, delicately nutty and extremely complex, a hint of salt and iodine. Juicy, has a fine sweetness, fresh structure, very elegant, pronounced fruit on the finish. A perfectly matured bottle, sour cherry fruit on the finish, very good length. Ripe Rayas can taste this good. (Drink).
