Domaine J. Despesse
Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Just pulled this off the shelf in the cellar. Don’t even remember buying it. Meant to pull another Cornas. With it being on the younger side I was afraid it wouldn’t really show well. Wrong. Initially hit with some black olives but as it opened up black cherry started to appear. Smoky but not overwhelming. Tons of sediment and kinda bummed I didn’t put it through some cheese cloth. Very nice and would definitely buy more.
