Tasted vis-a-vis the Clape, this did not stand a chance, really. It's nice, mature, smooth, local with olives galore, black berries, everything is here and well balanced, just lacks that extra bit of excitement, that I nomally find a Cornas-wine of this level. No blood on the tracks here ... allthought very nice, of course. Bagnols-en-Fôret

I mean…I understand the ratings provided. While there were some interesting notes - quite liked the ripe purple plum - I found my bottle to be lacking acidity and length. Maybe too old and got flabby…like me.

Decanted for two hours then brought to a tasting. Tannins have worn off and it has the beautiful fruit flavors of cherries, some spice and tobacco.

Dark ruby. Smoky, blackberry fruit. Cured meats. Surprisingly grainy tannins, with air this rounds out. Plenty acidity. On the old-school side.

Dark; smoky, briary fruit; forceful palate (still some tannin), with air this rounds out. Unapologetically old-school.
