This is in my opinion the most ethereal, captivating Cornas you can buy for the money (or even twice the money). Silky red and black fruits blanket the palate. Fruit is pristine and focused but possessing a haunting complexity. An emotional wine; more like a memory than a direct sensation. Tremendous phenolic depth, firm tannins that are nonetheless bathed in the generous succulence of the wine. Showing well now but I would wait a few more years for prime drinking. ‘15 is one of my favorite bottles ever, can’t really say this is much of a step down. 96+

No formal notes. Maybe my platonic ideal of elegance in syrah. Sings with a day’s decant but will only go up from here. Get on the @Lyle Fass list to have a crack at acquiring these extraordinary wines…
