Champelrose Cornas Syrah

Big, dark and earthy! Smoked hints with dark dry fruit on the palate. Firm tannins.

With bulldog Lloyd in the background

Or my senses let me down or this was an off bottle, it lacked completely what I loved in the previous 2 bottles...quite flat, missing character

Good stuff, started smooth as silk, got a little bit rougher at the end. Nevertheless, superb wine!

Needed some time to open up. My first Cornas and didn't dissapoint me at all! Soft as silk, balanced and long finish. Exactly how I like it...

Dark and intense with textbook peppery inflected cassis and plum fruit that shows just a touch of creamy oak. The wine has strong fruit based tannins with a fresh mineral edge. Flavors of plum, black raspberry mingle with black olive, white pepper and thyme.

Floral with tobacco and blue fruit. Great balance.

Excellent northern Rhone. Very smooth and accessible with a filet mignon and Demi glacé sauce. Full bodied and round with a center palate touch. If you can find some get it. Only 120 cases exported

A nice recommendation on a cold night. Lots of structure with nice fruit and a smooth finish.

Very dry and smooth- a bit silky. Wonderful with a lamb dish.
