Rare Northern Rhone Birthday - 1991: Took some time for the aromatics to come around but eventually gave up strawberry and roses in addition to dark spices and darker savory notes. Complex and interesting nose. Savory palate bit with a syrupy core of currant fruit.

Delicious. 1991 is one of those overlooked years, but produced great Northern Rhone wines. And this is great. Smooth, black fruits, a bit of olive, spice, touch of pepper, balanced sweetness in the mouth, and good long length. I enjoy this more each time I drink it.

Still great Cornas, ripe and rich, real mouth filling and balanced sweetness.
