Tasting notes
Glass-staining ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark fruit, incense and olive, and a smoky mineral flourish gains power with air. Shows very good depth as well as energy on the palate, offering densely packed blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors sharpened by a jolt of juicy acidity. In a rich yet lively style, showing impressive focus, youthfully chewy tannins and a very long, dark-fruit-driven finish.

The 2014 Cornas les Eygats is similarly concentrated to the Sabrotte, but offers more pepper, iron, sweet black cherry and strawberry fruit. This medium-bodied, supple, pure and beautifully polished effort is another 2014 that can be enjoyed today, but will keep for a decade. These 2014s show the more mid-weight, focused style of the vintage, yet have beautiful character and are already approachable. Drink these while you wait on the 2015s.
