January 23, 2024 - Opened and initially tasted of plum and was very tightly acidic - it tasted very young and almost a bit green. Colour distinctly deep purple. Decanted for 2-3 hrs and it then surprised with its cool elegance. Still tight and savoury but more blueberries and smoother (one person thought it was left bank bdx). Beautifully balanced and supremely sophisticated. Great but you could probably wait another 5-10 years to open it.

October 8, 2023 - Vinøs hyttetur 2023: Blind. Litt stum ved åpning, kjøttfull, særdeles ungdommelig, røkt bacon, blåbær og bjørnebær. Denne kan godt ligge 10 år.

September 6, 2023 - Dégustation verticale du Cornas du domaine Clape (Restaurant Les Mômes): Un nez de fruit noir et de truffes. Le vin est puissant et profond, ses tanins sont soyeux et l'ensemble est magnifiquement équilibré. Finale précise, de grande longueur. Grand vin. 95+ pts

December 17, 2022 - I am having a second bottle of this. I refer to prior note. It’s a fabulous bottle of wine. I think everyone should try a great Cornas at least once. They are not cheap but not crazy expensive either. You can have one of the world’s great Syrahs for quite a fair price. This vintage is a great example. Try it.

October 3, 2022 - Judgement of Singapore - "Other Varieties" (Singapore): This showed terribly in the tasting. Opened around 2 hours before tasting with no decant. Just a wall of tannin. If opening, be sure to give it a lengthy decant.
I've scored it based on my experience on the night but I know potential is much higher.1 person found this helpful Comment
