Tasting notes
Inky ruby color. Highly perfumed scents of dark berry preserves, incense and licorice are complemented by suave floral and exotic spice overtones. Fleshy and expansive on the palate, offering deeply concentrated blackberry, cherry-cola and fruitcake flavors that become more lively with aeration. This rich yet vibrant Cornas finishes extremely long and youthfully chewy, with building tannins, resonating florality and lingering sweetness. All whole clusters and neutral oak.

100% Syrah. Aged for 16 months in old oak. Cask sample.Tasted blind. Lots of energy on the nose, dark pastille fruit and a hint of violet. Blueberry and dark plums with a meaty undertone and very firm tannins that are quite prominent – a spice-laden finish. (AC)
