Closed as closed can be and I’ll taste and score today. Hot. Never got over it.

big black berry fruit, olives and game, really gamey and mineral, almost sur maturite. blackberry liquor, great concentrated and dense with very fine tannins and so so silky. some wood but very well integrated. big structure and density, amazing persistence, very very clean and very long. superb vin de garde and what a value.

Quite full and rich for such a young Cornas...the structure indicates a wine that will age gracefully yet it can be consumed now (with an assist from a decanter)

On 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Old school producer whose wines are equally majestic and age worthy as the bigger names.

Nice peppery, black current. A whiff of barn yard. Narrow, medium body. Classic old country.

Easy drinking northern Rhone style wine. Tight but elegant. Lacking finish. Classic contrast with the fully bodied, fruitier US Syrah.

Love it the first day, hated the second, I don't know what happened to it but it was completely disjointed. Maybe is because it's too young but it also could be due to over intervention at the winery.
