2010 Alain Voge Cornas Les Chailles
Community Tasting Note
River Rat Likes this wine:
Tuesday, November 3, 2015 - Initial nose was meaty with pure fruit on the attack but little else. Acidity and tannins mild. Not giving up a whole lot. Day two had similar notes so I let it sit another night.
Day 3 the nose turned earthy with a touch of barnyard/sulphur and black olive. Red and blue fruits dominate the juicy and tart palate. Some iron notes peek through the chalky tannins. Would probably benefit from another 3-4 years of age. At this time it is very similar to some California Syrahs I enjoy such as Wind Gap Sonoma Coast and Halcon Alturas. Really tasty but has nothing to set it apart from the other wines. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just that I was expecting a new experience. In the end it's Syrah. I love Syrah!
