Community Tasting Notes 4

    July 28, 2023 - Silky indeed. Didn't take a note, but this was memorably elegant and fresh for Cornas... cherry, plum, coffee grounds, leather, olives, cured meat..... gorgeous silky texture on the palate, smooth and lively at once, lots of Syrah character, but finessed and far from the bold and blowsy side of the grape. Wonderful stuff. Mature, but worth following at least another few years.

    May 5, 2014 - Finesse et élégance. Soyeux. Assez léger. Arômes de sapinage. Bel accord avec osso bucco de porc. Pris chez les JeanDo (1/3)

    October 20, 2007 - Lovely Syrah, not a blockbuster by any means, pretty medium bodied wine with balanced blackberry fruit and a hint of gamey/meaty aromas. If you like your Syrah low-acid this won't be for you. Good length. Still developing as we left, hope the chef enjoyed the rest. A-/B+

    December 9, 2004 - $56 restaurant price. Less fruit / power than I was expecting. Overall, this is a med bodied wine; fairly advanced and showing secondary / tertiary / earthy nuances; lacking a bit of freshness. In all fairness, this wine was probably slightly heat damaged, as further evidenced by wine staining rising over half way up the cork... Nevertheless, it was still drinkable, and while I was tempted to refuse it, I held back, for I just didn't feel like getting into it with the restaurant over such a debatable / border line example...
