Oh man what a special wine. Had to finish a great food and wine trip strong and this rare Rayas blanc from the fantastic list at Addison did not disappoint. Drinking at its apogee, it’s rich, wide open and firing on all cylinders with an attractive waxy texture and layered complexity. Takes a turn to magic town after 2 hours open. It is highly focused with great power, structure, balanced acidity and tremendous depth. Torched pineapple, melon, melted butter, minerals and drizzled honey. There is superb concentration and midpalate intensity leading to a seamless transition to its exceptionally long finish that just won’t dissipate. Grateful to have snagged the last one! ❤️

watched this over 3 days and the astringent finish never went away.

Salty elegance. Iper focused and lean, then punches your emotions out of the palate. It keeps changing moving from orange and apricot to a beautiful mint and white pepper. Awesome!

Knockout. Oily and viscous and incredibly perfumed. Intensely aromatic. What a treat with a cheese course.

That’s why these wines are so collectable. Unique style which is immediately recognisable. In essence more Burgundy than Chateauneuf. Greatness in a bottle.

Big stone fruit, honeycomb, lemon rind, lush and rich with an occasional hint of heat from the alcohol.
