Domaine J. Despesse
Cornas Syrah
Decanted an hour. Lots of sediment. Beautiful nose. Sweet violets. Olives. Blackberries. Balanced and at peak, should hold here for a few years but I don’t see it getting better.

Oct 15th, 2024Just pulled this off the shelf in the cellar. Don’t even remember buying it. Meant to pull another Cornas. With it being on the younger side I was afraid it wouldn’t really show well. Wrong. Initially hit with some black olives but as it opened up black cherry started to appear. Smoky but not overwhelming. Tons of sediment and kinda bummed I didn’t put it through some cheese cloth. Very nice and would definitely buy more.
