2007 is a superb vintage at Chateau Rayas
This is already approachable though should benefit from 4 to 5 years of cellar time
Intense aromas of black raspberry
Doug Shafer noted that this fruit was picked at up to 26 degrees Brix

Marc Delienne, Fleurie Abbaye Road Size:6x1.5L 2007 is a superb vintageThe 2015 Fleurie Abbaye Road is superb, bursting with scents of creamy black cherries, grilled meat, dried rose petals and wood smoke. On the palate, it's full bodied, layered and complete, with a multidimensional core, considerable concentration and remarkable energy despite its rich, atypically powerful profile. When I first encountered this wine, shortly after release, it showed a touch of volatile acidity that was imperceptible in these bottles.
