Cool blue fruit, violets, smoked meats, licorice pastille, barnyard, herbs. Good amount of soft and rich fruit. Tannins are toned down, but still some left. I wouldn’t hold onto this much longer because I want some structure and resistance. Very good!

This is wine is just brilliant. Probably right on point maturiy wise. There’s blackberry, black currant, licorice, meat, black olives, pepper and bay leaf. Fresh with a bit of niggly tannins.

En match contre Beaucastel de 98 qui a largement dominé la rencontre. Le millésime 98 sur Rhône méridionale étant nettement plus qualitatif que 2014 sur Rhône Septentrional. Aussi le Cornas au début de son plateau s’améliorera-t-il avec les années ? Pas certain, ayant noté à mon goût un manque de matière et densité en bouche. Ce qui pour le cépage Syrah et cuvée haut de gamme de ce domaine semble contradictoire avec mon ressenti à date. À voir dans 6/7 ans avec prochaine.

Smokey, meaty bacon notes, black cherry, blackberry, licorice. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. Lush and deep, lovely example of Northern Rhone Syrah

Had over two nights. Full bodied, mature with leather, meaty, long and complex. In a sweet spot now, I would enjoy from now and the next two years.
