Les P'tits Bouts Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days and consistent throughout. The 2022 “Les p’tits bouts” pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart fruit. Initially reductive and primary but after an hour, the nose became a stunning bouquet of fresh ripe blackberries, blueberries, an entire field of lavender, bacon fat, dried green herbs and some gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long. Beautifully fresh at this stage. Drink now and through 2037.
