  Pour mon anniversaire, j'avais sorti la grosse artillerie, ce jour-là, et notamment ce magnifique Cornas d'Auguste Clape, âgé de 42 ans !
  Ce vin de classe, carafé pendant 3 h, apparaît, drapé, dans une magnifique robe, profonde et grasse, couleur acajou dans la masse, il s'en exhale un beau bouquet envoûtant, vif et complexe (cuir, schistes) qui dévoile ensuite une bouche superbe, d'une grande plénitude et d'une grande richesse (violette, venaison, schistes).
  La bouche reste longtemps parfumée. Un must !
  Du niveau de grands Gevrey-Chambertin. J'adore !
  Coup de foudre, évidemment!

  Opened and double decanted when the 1978 Rousseau CSJ became suspect. This wine had a perfect fill. The color was still violet. The nose was all leather and smoke. No bacon but still wonderful. On the palate the wine was quite fine on the fore and mid palate but faded on the finish. A wonderful wine in fine condition but I'll take Verset over this all day any day and twice on Sundays.
