2023 WINE SPECTATOR TOP 100 #95
Brimming with ripe forest-berry aromas, but also notes of smoked bacon and wild herbs, this is a stunning Cornas thats highly structured with a very concentrated core, but also bright and elegant, major stony minerality driving the long, very focused finish.~ 95-96
Inky violet color. Vibrant, smoke-tinged cherry and blackberry aromas are complemented by suggestions of black pepper, olive and licorice. Broad and energetic in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet and concentrated black and blue fruit, cola and spice cake flavors that steadily deepen through the back half. Delivers a solid, smoky punch on a strikingly long, smooth finish thats framed by smooth, well-knit tannins. Made from vines that are pushing 100 years of age; 20% new oak.
Sleek and polished, with a bold cascade of blackberry confit, singed garrigue and warm fig, this is delicious and opulent yet powered by a savory undercurrent. Offers charred cedar that adds depth and roundness to the palate, while the pull of salt and crushed iron offsets the silky, dense character. This has staying power. Best from 2025 through 2032. 660 cases made, 250 cases imported.
