I'd say this leans on the more delicate side of Cornas, if there is such a thing. Firm and tannic, but there's a finesse here that seems to contrast a bit from the typical brute force of a lot of stuff from Cornas.

Lovely cornas, not too pricey. Lovely berries in the nose but not jammy at all. Great structure and finishes with good depth of tannins.

Not very distinctive - either fruit wise or northern Rhône terroir wise

Early days for this wine, and showing very impressive stuffing. Doninated by heady floral aromatics and lavender along with tart dark fruit, exotic spices, eucalyptus, a hint of leather. The fruit is super transparent and very well balanced. Both complex and refreshing. Great!

Gordon's northern Rhone tasting 9/20/16. Mix of fruit from different vineyards. Min of 40 yrs to 100. Nose similar to Gilles but had a bit of earthy note. Similar profile to '12
