Full nose is candied black cherry, cola and spice. Palate has medium fleshy body. On the heavier/sweeter side but enough acidity to provide balance. Riper than I would have expected for Anderson Valley and definitely a bit four square. Solid none the less.

Sexy nose has black cherry with nice stem-driven florals and herbs. Palate was initially hard-edged and not all that pleasurable (upon pop n' pour). With an hour or two of air the palate picks up some flesh showing more balance and seamlessness. Very good and probably needs a few more years to develop.

Aromas of light cherry with some green herbs pick up fruit intensity and notions of spice with air. Nice depth on the palate and good balance with medium weight. Just barely showing Vosne spice. Good for the vintage without any overt problematic green meanies.

Knock out nose is ethereal and layered with mature black fruit, spice, dill and cigar ash. Palate is medium bodied and while less dramatic/complex quite nice and elegant with mature still-fresh fruit. Lingering finish.

Showing quite young. Full nose of primary black fruit, meat, smoke and pepper. Palate is polished with round peppery fruit. Medium-to-full bodied. This is a suave and still primary Cornas. No rusticity or animale notes ... perhaps those come with more time. Terrific potential.

This is essentially a barrel sample today. Decanted for ~60 minutes before I tasted. Nose is huge and full of uber-primary black fruit with hints of meatiness, pepper and herb behind the fruit. Palate is forward with loads of pepper and black fruit. A flashy youngster with no nuance. I have high hopes for the future here.

Lovely full nose of earthy cherry fruit with some mushroom and beef broth. Palate is expansive with nice complexity in the earth, mushroom and spice notes. Excellent fruit intensity with substantial weight and seemingly still-brawny tannin on the back end. A fine Corton.

A really attractive and full nose has creamy black fruit, stems, florals, bacon and olive. Very Northern Rhone in flavor profile. The fruit is moderately rich and provides a lush medium-to-full body. This is in a great drinking window with fruit pleasure and complex flavors.

A delicious young white burg. Nose is full and showy with forward, ripe orchard fruits and white flowers. Palate has ripe/rich fruit and medium acid that comes together in a poised, balanced fashion.

Young and monolithic at this stage. Even with 60-90 minutes of decanting, this was showing non-delineated and heady. Big, round and lush in the mouth make for a powerful presence. Needs time to flesh out and develop some nuance.
