It had to be a Cornas flight but the other one was super smelly, so I removed it from the tasting

This was a very good entry level tasting to North Rhone valley, one that definitely increased in the participants the will to try more from this region (and indeed I'm prepping a Cote-Rotie one for end of April/begin of May). While most people liked the Cornas the most, I preferred the Cote-Rotie, for me much more intense both at the nose and palate.
