750 ml Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre Rhône, France 1976
Chateauneuf du Pape Rayas 1976 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity gentle; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 50-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened.
