Nice light red fruit (cherry), slight spice, slight olive. Nice lingering finish. Nice acidity. Slight bacon. Might have been better a few years back but really enjoyable.

Really nice fully mature Cornas. Lasted for about an hour before cracking up. Bill Spohn said this was only the 2nd Northern Rhone wine from '87 that he thought was good (the other was Chave Hermitage). Nice mature color and flavour profile. Solid acids still. Paired with a sea bass and mushroom dish that seemed to bring out the fruit sweetness in the wine. Fully resolved with no excess tannin. Quite nice.

Very pretty wine. Started a bit unruly but after and hour really showed a wonderful Cornas character.
