Score 88/100 · Drink Saturated ruby-purple. Sauvage aromas of black raspberry, meat, tar, licorice and herbs, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
in a rather reduced phase today. Tightly wrapped on the palate, with acidity dominating the wine underlying sweetness. Finishes quite firm and peppery. Will this fill in with bottle aging? Jan 1999, www.vinous.com

About the producer

Thierry Allemand
Allemand’s wines set the benchmark for Cornas: expressive Syrahs crafted with uncompromising traditional methods and released in tiny quantities. From the 1980s, he revived abandoned vineyards on Cornas’s steep granite slopes, building his domaine without inherited land or financial support.
