Friday, January 5, 2024 - Wines drunk around London; 1/3/2024-1/7/2024 (London, UK): This was available by the bottle at Sager+Wilde. So, I had to jump on this with the quickness as this is my first time finally having a Bourg Cornas! And oh boy, what an introduction!! This is olive tapenade city right from the first whiff! There is so much depth and style, filling the glass with black cherries, black raspberries, violets, tobacco leaf, licorice, dark spices, black fruits, savory herbs, a touch of sanguine notes with an underlying briny quality that is driving me wild. The Full bodied feel is way more silky and deft than I would expect from a young Cornas with tart, medium+ acidity and chewy, medium+ tannins. This, this fucks. Like, it fucks really hard. This isn't just up my alley, it's my 10-lane highway. This will clearly improve with age and I'm not really here to say that it's "drinking" per se at the moment. What I am saying is, yea, this is some really good shit that I need to find a way to have more of in my life.
