Tasted blind against a 2010 Alain Voge Cornas. Dark ruby purple color turning violet at the rim. The nose is off-putting with pungent, multi-dimensional aromas of animal fat, espresso and leather on dark berries. The palate is full-bodied with savory acidity that lifts the ripe blackberry compote core all the way to the long, silky finish with hints of black balsam and spicy black pepper. Delicious! Drink now until 2035. 95 Pts.

Tastes like lighter fluid. Bubbly and may be undergoing MLF. I would call this a flawed bottle, but after a run of 2011,2012 and 2013 Stolpman wines, all of which are undrinkable, it is not just this bottle!

Aged well, an hour or so it opens very nicely!
