Love it! First Bordeaux or even old world wine I have tried. A lot more subtle and earthy than anything I have tried from the new world. — 25 days ago
In a great place. Nose is all yellow fruits, gras and that unique St. Peray minerality. It’s got teeth. Almost some exotic french desert aroma. So interesting. Palate is explosive and juicy with perfect balance and fantastic freshness. Almost tannic finish. This has blossomed with some short term aging. — 3 months ago
80 %merlot, 20% cab. Subtle underlying fruits: blackberries, currants, some vanilla. Dry, smooth. 14% alcohol. — a day ago
Vintage 2010 | 15 y old and still fruit, always a bit sturdy - which I like - good balanced for the long haul and now drinking perfect. If all Bordeaux would be this good… paired with a beef schnitzel and red cabbage apple mint cole slaw. — 6 months ago
It may be infanticide, but a 11-14” snow/ice storm called for hasty judgment.
Deep grapey sanguine nose at first with a hint of something red poking around the edges. With meatloaf, perfect. The Cornas filled up any and all empty spaces left by the entrée. Big and muscular at first, but never overwhelming, built with fine tannins and a refreshing acidity filled finish. A peek at the bottle reveals 12.5°, lighter than thought going in, but not surprising, especially as it airs and a more pronounced red fruited quality emerges from the black. If you’ve got some and can wait…do so.
A highly rewarding bottle on a snowbound night.
