Tasted vis-a-vis the Nöel Verset 99, this faded and lacked intensity and elegance. But if you look at the wine t self, it is still a fine example of the appellation and the vintage, rucstic, manly, at times af bit akward, but the fruit is very solid as is the feel of the land. I dont see much development here, it will surely keep, but many not improve. #AndréInMemoriam

9 years since I last had this. Now fully mature. Beautiful raspberry fruit driven nose, hunts of menthol and also oats. Rounded fruit, dense raspberries, deep and full. Good acidity. Meaty, resolved and mature. Beautiful wine. Classic Cornas.

Quite rustic still. Deeply concentrated, hints of sweet oak, dark fruit, almost creamy in it's fullness. Early maturity - get better and better in the glass. #CP

I can't really add to what Raage said. This is Cornas of the highest class, hitting the target brilliantly. (Incidentally I tasted it last year against Hermitage la Chapelle 83 and it was the equal..). No hurry to drink up but it will not improve.

More closed than the 98, holding something back. Long. Potential
