The 1999 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve Blanc from Château Rayas has a lucid straw hue. Scents of dried honey intermingling with tangerines, licorice, aniseed and desiccated orange peel form the complex nose. The palate is dense and weighty in the mouth – what you might call a “white wine with tannins.” Underpinned by a fine line of acidity, this has an almost Alsace-like sweetness, revealing dried pineapple and tangy clementines toward the slightly waxy-textured finish. Mercurial in the glass, it seems to change with every passing minute. A stupendous Rayas at the peak of its powers. Neal Martin1st February 2022
