  Pnp. Juicy, dark red fruits, olive tapenade, medium finish, little dustiness on the finish. Drying finish with medium- length. In a good spot. Not sure if this has the acid or tannin to last much longer but should remain in a good spot for a few more years. Unclear how the fruit evolves.

  Really wish I could say I like this. But I don't. Volatile, off balance, rustic and lacking Syrah qualities. Nothing about this wine says Syrah. It would be ok as a sub $10 southern French red, but for Cornas, you'd expect more. The nail polish nose and palate are really the dominant characteristic of this wine.

  Lighter in style. Needs some air, which it did not get. Not bad, but I think not quite ready. The rule of 15 seems to dominate everything N Rhone.

  Nose: The nose is pure Northern Rhone as it is filled with black pepper, leather, animale notes, black cherries, black raspberries, and some violets. This is open-knit after two hours of air with excellent depth and style.
  
  Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium+ acidity and medium+ tannins. The feel is polished with a raw underbelly backed up with black pepper, black cherries, animale, black raspberries, and tobacco notes.
  
  Overall: This took nearly an hour or so to open up. Once it did, it was drinking beautifully and provides an earlier drinking side that also appeals to those that enjoys a more raw side to their Cornas.
