Last of my 6 bottles, it's been 1.5 yrs since I last tasted this vintage. The wine is showing beautifully this evening, with meaty blood, pepper, and rich red and black fruits. Nicely resolving tannins, the wine is mature and lovely. Solid acidity for aging, this is high quality Cornas. Drink through 2025+.

Penultimate of 6 bottles, enjoyed this one in northern Michigan at a friend's lakehouse. Gorgeous iteration of Syrah, time has softened this wine's tannins, it reminds me of blood sausage and black cherries. The finish is voluptuous and shows minerality. Drink through 2025.

3rd of 4 bottles. Delicious Cornas, with notes of sweet black fruits with rocks, camphor, coffee beans, anise, and black pepper. Medium acidity, a bit rich and tasty, drink remaining bottle by 2023.

Surprisingly bright and light, red fruit, a little mushroom. It improved in depth with air, and was still improving after 4 hours open. Nose was a little tight at first, but became expressive, red fruit, berry, mushroom, forest floor. Plenty of life left!
