Tasted blind. Perfumed nose with a subtle, earthy cigar note. Lively zesty freshness with a pastille-fruit core, gripping tannins and a medium finish. Simple but attractive in its youth. 16/20 Points Alistair Cooper MW, Jancisrobinson.com Dark robe; the bouquet is well together, with a core of attractive cassis, black cherry fruit, a hint of sweet herbs, a note of reduction. The palate flows well throughout, bears very tasty black cherry fruit with stylish tannins, a good ensemble it is. It’s a free running Cornas that has captured the freedom of the vintage well, backed by supple richness... 4 Stars John Livinstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhone
