  Houston Northern Rhone Blowout: Tasted next to the 1985, this wine showed more warm, vintage character. Some red pepper in the finish amid a background of red fruits with some baked character. The common line between the two is an incredible silky, fine boned tannic structure.

  This is not about the powerfulness that people often associated with Rhone wine, instead, this is about purity and energy, with the right amount of character (wildness?) on top of it. Loads of wild berries and dried flowers on the nose. With 12.5% alcohol, the palate started very fresh yet relatively light with cherry and a hint of olives. This gains weight and complexity with about 45min of air. Intense cherry with blackberry wrapped up with meaty, sheer, velvety tannin. Such a special Cornas!

  [Blind] Incredibly clean example. Highly floral and expressive and all about the fruit as opposed to earth. Bright red and blue berry fruit. Lifted and light. Slight olive, subtle tobacco detail. Beautiful.

  Elegant expression of syrah that is at peak and starting to gradually fade

  Beautiful floral nose with red fruit, meat, animal, olives and dried flowers. Palate is feminine and silky with pure syrah fruit despite being a bit light. Based on experience of the last two bottles from the same batch, the wine seems to be at peak. Drink up.
