This deeply colored Cornas is a brooding classic - hints of anise, tar, black cherry, grilled meat and plum. Good acidity and ripe tannins give it a great frame with a beguiling undertone of lavender and thyme and the faintest whiff of black pepper. Simply wonderful

Savory as hell. Licorice, sage, menthol. Long finish. This 09 Cornas is pretty beguiling.

A shame it's been electrified by Brett. Even if it doesn't seem crazy outrageous on nose or palate it's totally changed the structure of the wine and diminished it

Brett with hints of brett.
Sad. I fell in love with this wine back in 06 and I'm sad to see it so flawed in such a great vintage.
