Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 12, 2018 - A week in the Northern Rhone; 12/7/2018-12/15/2018 (Lyon, Vienne, Ampuis, Chavanay, Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph, Condrieu & Paris): Barrel tasting at the Domaine. From 30 year old vines - with the bulk coming from the flatter sections. Aged 18 -20% in oak barrels (mostly used). Marc recommends holding for 5-7 years and will age for 25 years. Quite a transition from the whites, this is still a very young wine with dark fruits and earth, but the tannins lean to the silkier side (not as chewy as the young Cornas we have been tasting this week). Again I can sense the elegance here.
