Dark fruit flavors like blackberries and dark cherries also tastes of dark chocolate and aged balsamic. This wine is very reduced. I don’t usually think of 18 years old as being very old for Châteauneuf-du-Pape but this one is showing its age. On the nose it gives balsamic reduction and dark cherry syrup. This wine has the nose of a vintage port. It does still have a good tannin structure. Very interesting. — 5 days ago

A deliciously complex wine that starts bright and acidic, has a big dark fruit middle, and a smooth sea salt and chocolate finish. It's very well balanced! — 4 months ago

Such an exceptional marsanne. Complex, rounded, and a hint of salinity. — 9 months ago

Imprecise, rustic and truly arteasanal. Despite this I have the feeling it will improve a lot with time. Perfect wine for food pairing. 93-93+ — 12 days ago

Oak. Crispy, acidity is stimulating side of and on my tongue. Rich with fruitiness including pear and citrus. Viscosity. 2020 @4730, Umem JH, 230811-240209 — 9 months ago

The 2020 Cornas Renaissance is delicious. It bursts with crushed violet, cured meat, menthol and black fruit aromatics. Peppery layers add more complexity. Offering increased concentration and an even riper profile than the 2022, I have no doubt that the powerful and neatly balanced 2020 Renaissance will be a long-distance runner. Medium- to full-bodied, it concludes with persistence on the complex finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, March 2024)
