  3rd of 12, opened an hour then decanted 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, in line with previous bottles, remarkably youthful, underlying tannins well covered by fruit, layered and civilised for Cornas, upside, 15+ years. F+ (18).

  Northern Rhone night: Much better than my last bottle a year ago which was too sweet and lacked structure. Showed more similarly to the excellent ‘95 that I had a couple of years ago. Blackberries, some cassis and a wine that unfurled and became more inviting in the glass. So northern Rhone, so Cornas if you know what I mean. In a perfect drinking window.

  This is really elegant and approachable now, scents of sandalwood and cherry, tannins are structured but inviting, complex flavors of blackberry, peppercorn, iron and tobacco, very seamless, the palate feels smooth, drinking well now, perfect with a beef soup

  Medium light red. Intense floral and red fruit mixed with hints of forest floor and pepper. Dry precise red berry and peppery strawberry flavours and a dry textured elegant finish.

  Houston Northern Rhone Blowout: This wine showed the coolness of the vintage and in my opinion was several big steps above the 2007. Not the most powerful Clape at this point, but it has a long life ahead of it. Meaty and masculine, and similar to the 05 Chave but with less weight.
