Cornas Syrah

Ultra ripe and I don’t mean vintage … jammy and liquored fruit. Bizarre. Aiming for new world drinkers perhaps ??? Not for me. Atypical style for the region indeed.

Expresses the vintage. Challenging I’m sure but felt that it’s open-knit character and ripeness make for an early drinking style. Can sense some dessiccation on the palate, there’s not the usual amount of freshness, but still certainly Cornas in the new wave style. Blackberry/loganberry compote, baked plum, slight prune note, crushed stone, truffle, earth, touch of stems. Was expecting tannins to be out of whack but surprisingly in line.

Very ripe in style for a Johann Michel Cornas...early drinker...oxidized after 3 days open.
