Popped and poured, the 2016 Cornalin pores a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with gorgeous notes of red and black fruit: Maraschino cherry, plum, blackberry, purple flowers, spearmint, smoke, pine needles and crushed rocks. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose though the mint note is even more pronounced. This was a stunning pairing with a simple mushroom and saffron risotto with chicken thighs. Grazie Tim! Drink now through 2030. — a month ago

Really enjoyed for the price and balance and tannins. Not a bold taste, but a good fall wine — 3 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2021 “Les Procès” pours a light ruby with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and Holy Stem Inclusion Batman! This has some pretty strawberry mixed with a whole pine forest, dried green herbs, forest floor and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and fresh. Drink now through 2036. — 5 months ago

My first fumin. Dark fruit, earth, spice, leather. For a wine that was 6 years old, it still had a remarkable Alpine freshness to it that I found to be very exciting. Will definitely try others! 90% Fumin, 10% Syrah. 8/14/22. — 3 years ago

Aromatic candy - perfumed orange blossom and honey jasmine tea. Smells sweet.

A big Moscato - voluptuous and a textural sensation - is it syrupy? Is it just the alcohol (14.5%)? Is it fatty? Is it acidic? It’s all of these at once.

I had a hard time understanding whether this was actually sweet or just aromatically suggestive of sugary things. I still don’t have my mind made up.

Goes down a little hot. Extremely honeyed - then orange and passion fruit and bitter grapefruit before a long exit. — 3 years ago

Dinner sans Kris as she’s busy chaperoning interns… stopped by Watsons and randomly grabbed this wine before dinner and Blu House as they are still BYOB… turned out to be a great bottle of wine that was light/refreshing/easy to drink….will make sure to leave kris a glass to taste whenever she gets back.. also need to order some more to have at the house! As for dinner, pasta and ossobuco was delicious… will come back.. when it comes to dessert, I wanted to take the gelato in a cone for takeaway and they were adamant that I shouldn’t bc it would melt too quickly…I final won the argument and ended up getting extra gelato! Will save that for Kris as well. — 2 years ago

Funky, fresh. Firm tannin. Color very dark, made me think it would be richer. Food recommended. — 4 years ago

Nose of violet and oak is very nice. I like this smell gorgeous. The acid is impressive but not too much.
