Structurally great wine here, classic SJ. Blackberry dominates, but held in check with really solid balance. I would guess 3-5 years of good drinking. (200 views)

This was a nearly perfect PS. A big wine, but very refined. The fruit was balanced with pencil shavings, smoked meat and white pepper. Needed about 1 hour to really hit stride. Absolutely outstanding, drink now through 2027 (60 views)

Wow, this is a fantastic example of Cornas. Took about 1 hour for the fruit to develop, and this still needed a lot of air. This was so refined with great acidity and tannin. This could go 2 decades, EASY. Drink the Terre Brulee as this one evolves in the cellar. Hands off until 2030. (238 views)

What a great wine. Bigger style, but still in great balance. Zero flabbiness. Edges toward blackberry pie, but with good acidity so its not over the top. Well done. (94 views)

Really good wine. Still in the early stages of its drinking window. This was more clean dark fruits, no earth or barnyard. A bit of a new world in terms of fruit profile, but with the structure and acidity of the old world. (252 views)

Still a bit young. Needed about 90 minutes to start showing darker blueberry and blackberry fruits. Lush, but restrained. I might wait another 2-4 years on this. Really solid. (233 views)
