2018 Domaine de Fauterie Cornas Vieilles VignesSyrah more |
2/11/2024 - thesternowl wrote: 96 pointsPopped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Special on Day 1. Sensational on Day 3. The 2018 pours a deep purple color moving towards a magenta rim with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. There appears to be some fine sediment as well. On the nose, the wine is developing with fascinating notes of blackberries, smoked blueberry crisp, lavender, animale, bacon fat, new leather, black olives, iron-like minerals and some faint spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish lasts for an eternity and it’s laden with purple flowers, fruit and minerals. This is a thrilling Cornas with enormous energy and character. While it’s a delight to enjoy now, I expect a long life. My next bottle will be after 2028 and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to get thrills through 2038. The last glass had loads of fine sediment coating the glass; just something to keep in mind. |

5/14/2023 - mattyboy_ Likes this wine: 97 pointsLife affirming bottle of Syrah, it really is. How this producer remains under the radar for so long is one of the greatest mysteries in wine. At Domaine Fauterie, Sylvain Bernard is making world class Syrah of the highest tier. |

2/9/2019 - ledwards wrote: 95 pointsYes, opening sooner than optimal but really wanted to see what was in the bottle. Very impressive. Liquid stone, chalky, underripe blackberry. Classic in style, perhaps a touch lighter than Allemand but clearly a peer. |

6/2/2023 - dreambeam Likes this wine: NRNeeds lots and lots of time. Rather primary at the moment. Menthol and eucalyptus on the nose. Dense, textured, will live forever. |

3/10/2021 - Nick4378 Likes this wine: 93 pointsTo say the nose is expressive is an understatement. Black berries, dark cherries, cassis, roasted meats. On the palate a lot of fruit up front with black berries, black cherries, currants. Followed by roasted meats, spice, olives, rocky earth & superb tannins. The stoniness is the star here. Very complex wine that is constantly evolving. Its primary, rich but balanced and is more elegant than all the bold flavors that I point out. A true sum of its parts. |

8/29/2020 - RichardP wrote: 93 pointsOn the nose, camphor and a touch of plum. On the palate, red fruit that seamlessly combines with smoked meat, a unique sweet dusty taste that I can't relate to anything else I have had, and notes of brine and earth on the long finish, with well-balanced acidity. This is excellent, and it was an excellent value at a little over $50. Although this may improve, it's already excellent. I will be looking for more. |

4/19/2021 - fournet wrote: 93 pointsStill very young. Lot of evolution over the first hour. Not jammy like many of the modern producers of late, though still more fruit than the older classics. Very nice finish, heavy tannins. I would wait another 3-5 years if possible. |

With Rosengartens fresh harvest olive oil and dried New Mexico red chile on veggie pizza with jalapenos this was divine. Made the stupid bowl half time show a real treat. |

4/4/2009 - massar wrote: 87 pointsTruly exemplary of a classic Rhone. As the wine opens, there is a predominance of leather and subtle pepper on the nose. Slightly chewy on the palate and nicely balanced with hints of ripe berries that are not overwhelming. |

1/2/2023 - James Kim Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted. Now 3.5h after decant. Aromas of ripe blackberries and cherries, herbs, roasted game meats, olives, and a bit of garrigue. Palate w dark black cherries, ripe blackberries, olives, brambles, roasted meats, herbs, bark and earth. Full bodied w nice acids. Medium+ tannins. Rich but balanced w some elegance. Nice balance. Young for sure but all the elements are here for a beautiful wine in 10-15 yrs. Excited to see how this turns out. 91+ |

11/20/2018 - Sennma wrote: 91 pointsProbably popped this a bit too early. You can see the lovely stuff underneath the structure right now but as is typical with young cornas, there is a lot of tannin to wade through. Hold for a couple more years before trying again. |

2/13/2023 - yhn wrote: 93 pointsNo notes. Fully mature. Wonderfully expressive mature nose, good complexity. This does fade in the glass with extended time, but a fresh pour from the bottle 3 hours out was as good as the first pour. No upside to further aging, so I'll find a time for my other bottle in the near-ish term. |

3/29/2015 - salil wrote: 93 pointsWow, this is absolutely stunning right now, and I'm glad I was able to give at least one bottle some time in the cellar. The fruit's not as rich and sappy as it was a few years ago on release, and instead it's all about black olive, cured meat, briny, smoky and other savoury and saline elements. The palate presence is really graceful, with the acidity giving it a remarkable sense of freshness and lightness, and I'm left wishing I had cellared more of this instead of drinking so many of my bottles young. |
