Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Mar 13
Glass-staining ruby. Pungent, spice-accented aromas of red fruit compote, cherry pit and fresh flowers. Juicy and sharply focused, offering gently sweet black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors and a lashing of peppery spices. Closes with gentle grip and very good length, betraying only a hint of tannins.

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.
