I thought the 1990 Fonsalette-Blanc to be more impressive than the 1990 Rayas-Blanc, a more backward wine that proved to be astonishing when drunk at a restaurant near Orange. Reynaud suggested that the 1991 Rayas-Blanc needs 10-15 years just to reach full maturity! When I last had it, the wine revealed a huge nose of honey and pears, expansive, unctuous flavors, gorgeous extraction of fruit, and a long, alcoholic finish. It should drink well for 15-20 years.
