Domaine Durand (Eric & Joel Durand)
Confidence Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Stalwart Syrah. Needs time, but showed its potential on the second night. Deep dark fruit, minerals, foliage. Long long finish.

Powerful and elegant. I really needed to have steak with this but mistakenly had salad. It probably would have gotten a higher rating from me with steak or lamb. It’s just the right age now, and is still strong. A good choice for Syrah.

Meaty, graphite and some interesting herbal notes. A somewhat riper style.

Wow. On day one this tasted powerful but somewhat closed, and I thought I had opened it too early (more air would have helped). It opened up a little more each day, and by day 3 it was fantastic. I won't try to describe all the layers of fruit. The finish was minerals and herbs and a little bitterness. I need to get more Cornas.
