2018 vintage. Anything produced by Caroline Frey seems to be worth buying these days and this Cornas is no exception. Ripe black fruit, blueberry jam and spices. It maintains acidity in this hot year and is every bit as good as the delicious 2017. Abv. 14,5 %.

2017 vintage. Blackberries and spices. Concentrated black fruit, ripe tannin, powerful and fresh. Serious length. Another winner from Jaboulet. Abv. 13,5% .

Showing so well. Showing finesse, harmony, and balance. I was expecting more concentration and extract bit this was quite deft in oak and concentration. Vintage perhaps? Gorgeous nose of classic Cornas black fruit, sweet wood, savory/sweet umami notes of smoked meat, worn leather, smoke and bacon. Wouldn’t age any longer.

Tons of blue fruits with a long finish of vanilla.

More soft and elegant after a few years in bottle. Black currants, raspberries, white pepper and mineral stones.

Really nice stuff here, pure and funky, with meaty and peppercorn spice.

Always so much fun with this pretty wine south of the Rhône-Nord. Syrah is expressed on red and black fruits with beautiful peppery notes, smoked bacon. Coated character. Contained power. Fine texture in the mouth. The acidity suggests that it is to be drunk now.

Toujours autant de plaisir avec ce jolie vin au sud du Rhône-Nord. La Syrah s’y exprime sur les fruits rouges et noirs avec de belles notes poivrées, lard fumé. Caractère enrobé. Puissance contenu. Texture fine en bouche. L’acidité suggère que c’est à boire maintenant.
