Domaine Auguste Clape
Cornas Syrah
Tawny middle with amber on the rims. Barely translucent. Clear direct nose with notes of old wood, leather, eucalyptus, sour fruit. Still silky in the mouth with tannins softened to enable a light but smooth, medium plus finish. Don't think this can improve from here so drink up.
