Drank alongside the 2011. Showing the ripeness of the vintage, but not in a bad/roasted way. Darker fruits compared with the 2011. Drinking very well now but no rush.

Ruby red in colour with some light purple still in evidence and , showing a little bit of brown. On the nose grilled meat, spice (white pepper) and light smoke. A coolness. This carries over to the palate where there is still a freshness, light tannin grip that softened the longer it was opened. Darker fruits still there, but now starting to sit in the background. Medium to full mouthfeel. Some glycerol legs on the glass, but everything very well integrated. Still some sweet fruit in background.

Grilled beef, black olives, cherries, currants, barnyard, tar, iron. Classic Cornas from young vines. Not as intense as the ‘normal’ Cornas bottling - almost more feminine. Great complexity and lengthy finish - very drinkable.

Pure, med+ intense bouquet. Smoky. Dry, med acid, med+ tannins, alc, body and intensity. Big wine, warm but not boiling, underlying vegetable notes, excellently balanced, long(-) finish. Very, very good.
Drink.
My notes: Smoke, black olives, black fruits and berries, slate, tobacco.
