Flight 1, Rhône, Wine 6 (blind): The wine was dark ruby in colour and offered blackberry, cherry, cabbage, leather, gamy notes, roasted notes as well as herbal spiciness on the nose. On the palate the wine showed blackberry, cherry, some tobacco and roasted notes, paired with herbal spiciness, medium-plus acidity, medium-plus slightly coarse tannin and incredible length. A medium- to full-bodied, balanced Cornas. I liked the wine better pop & pour than after aeration in the glass as the wine seemed to lose structure as time passed. Good QPR.

Jammy/peppery nose. I think this wine was cooked.

This wine is ok but ill not buy more. A little dark / savoury for my taste without balance of either fruit or acid- not fresh enough.

Mid week PNP. Probably too cold and so muted and quite closed / dark. I'll not get any more

PNP it was ok mid week. Some real potential but probably not good enough to warrant the cellar space for as long as it will need.
