  Super intense avec une robe noir d'encre.
  Nez florale et viandeux avec des fruits noires.
  En bouche, mures et bacon avec de la terre
  et de l'anis. Super long et bien persistant.
  Très bon.

  I knew this was probably too young, but I wanted a Northern Rhone to go with the lamb roast dinner, and this was the most ready-to-go in my cellar by CT drinking window recommendations. Opened the night before but left in bottle, spent about 6-7 hours in a decanter the day of, but still tannic, and reticent, the hints of bold black fruit not quite wanting to fully emerge yet. By dinner time, the nose was very inviting and in full bloom, but the palette still felt quite closed, tannins were giving a little, but still dominating. Will see how this does on 2nd and 3rd night if it makes til then. Needs another 3-5 years at least.

  Tasted at Syrah seminar - no formal notes
  This was the darkest, most brooding of the six wines presented
  Dominated by deep black fruit on the nose, with game, tar and licorice aromas
  The palate was full and inviting - again dark fruit and florals with dry earthy notes
  Tannins strongest of the night - this really showed what Cornas is made of, especially against other N Rhone wines (we didn't have an Hermitage)
  Could definitely benefit from another 3-5 yrs of aging as palate was dominated by the tannins

  Very much a Cornas (and Northern Rhone) novice, but we really liked this. I got the notes of smoked meat, pepper, etc. that I know enough to expect and it was great with smoked pulled pork. Summer and grilled meat make it a good time to reach for something other than the typical Italian reds.

  中宝石红，闻香有些许灌木丛，香草奶油，醋栗，青味和木质香气，入口酸度高，酒液咸，收口甜，单宁紧涩，有些糊嘴，颗粒细腻，山楂一类红果混合着黑果，木质香气，口感顺滑，余味香料感和木质香气。一款正值适饮期的酒，带着一股强烈的意大利气质，法桶影响明显，充分陈年展现出很融合的状态，漂亮的酸度，精致的细节打磨，各方面表现都很平衡，优雅的风格令人印象深刻。
