  • 2012 Alain Voge Cornas Les Chailles 91 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas

    The wine shows bright youthful color
    The wine shows bright profile in the nose, filled with fresh red cherries, hints of oak and smoke, a touch of earth and spice.
    In the palate, the wine shows purity, nice juicy (and slightly grippy) tannins, oak and smoke, sweet spices, fresh ripe red fruits, a thin mineral sheet, medium body and long finish.
    Doesn't the extreme depth or complexity but its so beautiful to drink.

    The wine shows medium intensity, the herbal profile is more pronounced nexto to the ripe red cherry, ripe red currant, a touch smoky. The palate is smooth, ripe cherry, a few earthy notes, medium body, spicy, alive and kicking . Beautiful

  • 2012 Alain Voge Cornas Cuvée Vieilles Fontaines

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas

    This bottle was (for me) corked as well.
    The wine shows low intenstity with very confusing, damp character.
    In the palate, the wine shows medium to full body, there are tannins (although less aggreessive than expected), earth, smoke and fire everywhere, it feels warm, the fruit is overripe black cherry, prunes and even dates/raisin, the finish is short to medium.
    It doesn't have the typical cork taint, but everything feels muted to almost a numb state.
    Damn damn
