Cornas Syrah

Highlight of my New Year’s eve total splurge that I bought for myself this past year as I’ve never experienced one of the cornas greats with age! This hit all the marks with a smoky nose right upon opening and then dark fruit, leather, mushrooms all the things!! Happy 2020!!

Thanks JF!

Savory, meaty, peppery, stemmy and all that other goodness!

Powerful, precise and wild. The best bottle and of course it's the last#authentic

If you're happy and you know it #clape your hands!
2007 August Clape Cornas
A little disappointed here...2007 I think overwhelms the wine with the ripe aspect of the warm vintage growing season. Instead of great it's pretty good. Maybe time will mellow it some into more equalibrium, but really it already seems to be mellowing as the structure is firm, though fine grained. Its like being at a really nice dinner and everything is great except for the one schmuck talking too loud and too much. The aroma is peppery, with currants and cassis, some purple floral notes, and a few hints of charcoal and stones. Pure, deftly balanced and fresh, I think it's just lacking some precision and focus. #cornas #syrah

Liquid stone, leather and smoked meats. Yum.

Just finished a visit at Clape now drinking this at Le Chaudron . Very elegant and complex bottle that is drinking well.

So good!! Needs a little more time but showing some amazing finesse on the nose and level of depth on the palate. Bravo.

Wild blueberries.

2007. Prototypical. Yum.
