The red wine Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, vintage 2003 from the winery Château Rayas has been rated in 2012 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Grenache from the region Côtes du Rhône in France.
Medium carmine colour, ochre reflections, broad watery rim. Attractive ripe cherry fruit, but also a fine savouriness, reminiscent of black tea, with a hint of candied violet blossom. Powerful, juicy texture, vivid tannins, lively acidity, nuances of bitter chocolate and dried fruit on the finish testify to the sun drenched vintage, with sultanas on the aftertaste. (Drink/store +10).
