Simply stupendous, amazingly pure and cherry kirsch-like, fabulous finish, great w/braised pork belly my wife made.

Gained that beautiful port like sweetness, love these 80's Rayas

Jim Knight

Bottle on the right showed much better.

Creosote, yielding to intense beautiful fruit. So alive on palate

Shows quite old. Very nice but not exceptional

Andrew Schawel

1988 vintage. Smoke, black pepper, fruit leather, dried cherries. Very developed, definitely past is prime.

Jackson Rohrbaugh

White pepper and stuff. One of the best I've had. Very different than young Rayas.
