Domaine Courbis
La Sabarotte Cornas Syrah
This is settling in nicely, the terroir is beginning to show through the winemaking and becoming more truthful to Cornas. Oak and extraction are integrating nicely. Granular tannin, firm mineral feel on the back end. Blackberry, olive, beef blood, fur, cast iron, leather, ash, forest floral, autumnal.

Jul 29th, 2017Beautiful nose, black fruits, huckleberry, olive tapenade, really soft, plush texture...slight bitterness on the finish but also nice and savory.

Aug 18th, 2016Gorgeous and very defined aromatics, in a second revealing its birthplace. Not overdone, this is a subtle interpretation of the wild Cornas appellation. The new oak is already integrated, and this varietally true Syrah is enveloping nicely on the spicy and clove infused finish. Thru 2026.

Jul 17th, 2016Really disappointing considering the price of this SV Cornas. Nothing about it says N. Rhone. All the wines from this producer were mediocre
