Domaine Lionnet
Terre Brûlée Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Intense dark fruit, blood, and meat. Still grippy and not completely shed of youth. Wish this was opened five years from now.

Calamata olive, black fruit, spice and hints of spearmint framed in an oily texture and super soft tannins that give the wine a loose, effortless feeling.

Aug 26th, 2015Upon opening, focused and lifted red fruit with tugging tannins and pronounced acidity. Sous bois. Dried herbs. Almost Burgundian. Opened to muscular blue fruit with fresh violet. Drinks well but would like to revisit down the road to see more well integrated structure and reserved acid.

Super traditional, maybe too much so. Was hoping for more richness. This is definitely a "Rosenthal wine" which is usually a great thing but this cornas needs a bit more gloss

Feb 3rd, 2015Lots of structure. But it is working itself out now. Ready to drink? Bit only with food.

Feb 11th, 2014Delicious earthy savory red wine with plenty of complexity. Smells like olives and tastes like a great idea. My style of wine.

Beautiful aromatics of crushed rocks, grilled meat & charcoal, purple flowers, black & green peppercorns. Fleshed-out after an hour or so in decanter, and the core of ripe red berry fruit emerged on the mid-palate. 30sec+ finish. Real damn good.
