Could be mistaken for California. Has the slightest Cornas DNA. Very modern and plump - at times a bit lazy and tired on the palate. Offers stewed smoky berry, stewed plums, vanilla, cured meats. This misses the mark here for me - I don't hate it but I don't like it either.

I like this a lot. Stern, upright, lean, structured. Concentrated, strident nose, dense and a bit sweet on palate. After about 2 hours air, some tobacco notes come forward.

Nice wine, showing a hint of bacon fat with dark fruits. tannins fairly resolved. Drink remaining bottle over next couple years
