Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jan 06
(aged in all new barrels) Bright purple. Rich, powerful aromas of raspberry, blackberry and strong oak spice. Dense and velvety, with powerful but lush flavors of berries and plum, accented by exotic spices. The tannins are barely noticeable here and the fat, sweet finishing flavors really cling to the palate.

Cornas

Cornas, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famous for bold, robust Syrah wines. Grown on steep, sun-drenched slopes, these wines are known for their intensity and depth, featuring flavours of dark berries, black pepper, smoked meat, and earthy notes, with strong tannins and excellent ageing potential. Cornas focuses exclusively on 100% Syrah, with granite soils adding to its complexity. Top producers include Domaine Auguste Clape, Thierry Allemand, and Domaine Alain Voge, all celebrated for expressing Cornas's unique terroir.
