2011 Marcel Juge Cornas

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Wednesday, October 25, 2017 - So we're doing a 2016 Falkenstein sampling at the local Filipino BBQ place and Z brings this as a surprise. Oh boy! I have to admit that I wasn't in the right headspace for red at that point, and this wine was potent enough to throw off my equilibrium. The nose is a heady mix of savory and salty olives and meats, rocky minerals, dark fruits - black cherry and blackberry, along with some dark floral notes. Oh, yes, there was something really interesting on the nose - some perfume of bacon and marzipan or something ... that part of the nose was so creamy you could almost feel it. The palate is similar - it's got power and depth, but good acidity - this thing is savory to the nth degree. I wish I had been in a place to really focus on it. Thanks Z!
