  See previous notes. Deep ruby in glass. Medium plus intensity on the nose. blackberries, violets, pepper, olives and tar. Medium plus acidity and high tannins. Silky texture and a medium plus finish. Wonderful stuff.

  Fruity and flowery style of Syrah, with less of the classic pepper and meat. Decent structural backbone, noticeably Cornas in that regard.
  
  Alcohol (14%) too prominent at first, but less so when given air. Completely gone on day two - where the wine was at its best.
  
  Would hold if I had any bottles left.

  Flyer purchase The bottle List.
  
  A compelling write and price point that peaked my interest.
  
  Early to open but very enjoyable.

  This is a lovely Cornas that's full-bodied with authentic flavors of smoky dark berries, lavender, olive tapenade and black pepper. The texture has a lithe quality and the wine dances on the palate with an ethereal mouthfeel despite its full-flavored profile. The finish is already complex with notes of violet spice and mineral crunch. Lovely to drink now with food and it has the balance and material to age well. Off the list at Trust, S.D. 92+

  Medium plus intensity on the nose. Medium plus body. Blueberry, blackberry, violets, meat and black pepper. Lovely stuff. Medium acidity and medium plus tannins that still need time to resolve. Classy finish. Well balanced and light on its feet. I will hold my remaining bottles for at least 1-2 more years.
