Work tasting and dinner (Home): Deep and dense ruby, similar to the Thalabert alongside. Good Northern Rhone Syrah, but it’s too tame to be proper Cornas. Lacks some bite and is just too manicured and polite. However, it’s still an excellent wine, just a bit light on typicity. After a few bottles in the late noughties, this is holding well with little further evolution. ****

5th of 6. Beautiful and still relatively young with primary fruit and black pepper. Lovely balance and some mellowness from age but I think I will leave my last bottle a few years. 4/5

Incredible freshness for 28 years old; really delicate but full of life.

Still in very good shape. Some sweetness, smoke, spices, mushrooms. Palate is intense and well balanced. Medium length.

A very nice wine but not at all typical of Cornas. I wish I made some better notes on this one.
