ROTEM & MOUNIR SAOUMA Chateauneuf-du-Pape Arioso Tasting Note
Score 98
I tasted this and I thought of the great Rayas from the late 1980s. Full body, bright fruit and a creamy texture. Its purity of fruit is amazing with dark berry, spice, meat and dried flowers. The first vintage of this was 2009. Made from old vines planted in the 1940s. Aged three years in demi muid. Very low sulfur too. Drink or hold.

A very special white with dried lemon, lemon curd and flowers. Full body, dried fruits and very long. This is mostly grenache blanc. Aged two years in demi muid. Very light sulfur. Reminds me of ancient Rayas whites.

A dark and rich red with gorgeous spiciness plus a foie gras and a sliced meat undertone. Full-bodied, yet fresh and very long. It so enticing and exciting. Drink or hold.
