Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 03
Good full ruby. Pure aromas of dark berries, black olive, violet and gunflint. Concentrated, minerally and tight, with primary fruit, mint and herbal flavors and a slight metallic hardness. Finishes uncompromisingly dry, but the tannins are quite fine.

Cornas Vineyard Fine Wine

Cornas

Cornas, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famous for bold, robust Syrah wines. Grown on steep, sun-drenched slopes, these wines are known for their intensity and depth, featuring flavours of dark berries, black pepper, smoked meat, and earthy notes, with strong tannins and excellent ageing potential. Cornas focuses exclusively on 100% Syrah, with granite soils adding to its complexity. Top producers include Domaine Auguste Clape, Thierry Allemand, and Domaine Alain Voge, all celebrated for expressing Cornas's unique terroir.
