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.

Might be unreasonable of me but I just want a little more finesse.

30 years young. This ashy cornas was amazing and actually got better after an hour. Great fruit and wonderful tertiary flavors dominate this classic cornas. I felt like I was in olive overload and I loved every sip.

Auguste Clape Cornas 85. Sweet tones, slightly musky, more earthy after some time. Good acidity.
