A solid, though not show stopping, bottle of Cornas. Graphite, blackberry, smoke. A little one noted/shut down.

This was fun, tons of youthful charm and integrating nicely, I would argue there’s no reason to age more. Young vine character come through with a lack of depth, but the bright exuberant fruit coupled with some bottle development make for a nice drop. Not a shabby Cornas vintage either IMO. Soaked cherry, mulberry jam, apricot pit, crushed peach, sweet licorice, cinnamon, graphite, violets, leather. A background a musky earth too. There’s some nice polish from the oak, lending some class.

Charcoal and game, with subtle burnt coffee notes, thinner mouthfeel and complexity than the VV rendition.
