Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Deep Ruby color with complex aromas of black fruits, herbs, floral and smoky notes! On the palate flavors of blackberry, currants and blueberry with herbs, tobacco and pepper spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb, spice and earthy character. Nice! — 2 months ago

An entry-level cuvée by one of the great Syrah specialist from Cornas. Nice bottle for its price. Balanced, very well designed and greedy. Syrah youthful fruity trend (fresh black fruits) — 4 years ago

Some tart classical Cornas that seemed an appropriate tipple on the autumnal equinox. — 6 years ago

Purchased at Binnys September 2023. Might be better to save a bottle from 2017, but it was still very delicious. I’m trying more wines from France’s Rhône Valley in anticipation of visiting there in 2024.
Cost: $60 — 8 months ago

The Colombo family does a fine job in other appellations than Cornas, as with this sappy, energetic and highly perfumed Crozes-Hermitage. Already showing intense blackberry and floral character, it will improve over the coming decade. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2018) — 6 years ago

Crisp and easy drinking. So difficult to get Cornas wines here (especially the reds), great pleasure to enjoy on a summer day — 4 years ago
