Domaine Auguste Clape
Cornas Syrah
The 2010 is super smooth and polished notwithstanding the game character. So much fruit still. Very classy.

Jul 28th, 2016A monster. Pitch black fruit, great acidity, huge minerality, bold tannins and despite the above; lightness. Amazingly well balanced, this will keep for ages and will prove to be one of the greatest Cornas wines ever produced. Possibly a three digit wine. 98+

Sep 20th, 2015Bacon-fat, roasted herbs, smoky spice and packed with mine talc, this intense bottling has tremendous balance and fine length, thanks to juicy acidity, framing a classically built-up palate, promising to deliver even more dimensions in another few years.
