Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 03
Good medium ruby. Pure, highly aromatic nose combines black cherry, blueberry, violet, black olive and mint. Peppery, bright and elegantly styled, with juicy acidity for the vintage. Not fat but offers lovely cut and verve. Finishes fresh and persistent, with a note of bitter chocolate.

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.
