Cork in bad shape with wine running up the side. Wine seems OK with fresh berry, cedar, coconut and mint character. Refreshing acidity with minimal tannin. Good wine but not very distinctive and one note. Would guess new world blind. Less oak character and more high toned fruit on day 2

Not your grandfather's Cornas... this pours out a vibrant and clear ruby/magenta that easily could have passed for a Beaujolais on sight alone. And also on smell, which is ultra-primary just-crushed fresh berry fruit. That carries through to the taste which is clean, bright, and crunchy and just as vibrantly red-toned, laced with cedary wood. I don't think I have ever had a syrah this bright and lilting and bona fide thirst-quenching. For sheer drinkability this is an honest-to-god man-bites-dog story though as that suggests it doesn't get the highest marks for Cornas typicity.

Very strange. Probably defective. Character of stewed peas.
