Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Started out with some interesting funk… but with patience in the decanter it softened into a round and elegant Syrah.

100% Syrah, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits and meaty spice. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, currant and blackberry with pepper and herb mineral spice. Full ripe tannins, well balanced, long finish ending with a spicy fruit character. Tasting Sample.

Lovely wine at its peak, smooth, rich, elegant and round, medium to full body, appealing nose, lovely acidity, lots of black fruits and earthy notes, round tannins, smooth delicious finish. My score 89, drink to 2021

I love the elegant nose of savory raw meat, charcouteries, pepper, and white flowers; but the taste -- although refined and quite elegant -- lacks structure, tannins, and acid, and ends with a flat grape juice character. I'll just sit here and smell this wine

Solid Cornas with a nice fruit & herb balance but missing something to make it outstanding.
