Score 90/100 · Drink 1996-2008, Robert Parker, Oct 1992

An exceptional bargain. The 1990 Vacqueyras, which I have tasted three times in the last month, continues to go from strength to strength. Its huge, ripe nose of black-raspberry fruit and roasted nuts is dazzling. In the mouth, there is immense body, gobs of chewy, intense flavors, moderate tannins, and a voluptuous, explosively long finish. Do not wait for the rest of the world to discover this Rayas look-alike as the price can only go up. It will benefit from another 1-2 years of cellaring and should easily last for 10-20 years. Bottled unfiltered. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.

Ch. Rayas - producer
Domaine des Tours (Rayas)

Domaine des Tours is a separate label to Ch. des Tours, however both ranges are made at the same Vacqueyras property. Part of the Rayas galaxy and made by Emmanuel Reynaud, the wines are a source of great value and offer a glimpse of the Rayas style.
