Domaine Auguste Clape
Cornas Syrah


Simply astounding! My experience with Clape has been a roller coaster, but this makes it all worth it!

Tasted a lot younger then 25 but was seamless.

Sadly, great color and flavors, but this has more than threshold level TCA, so while this is “drinkable”, my score reflects the diminishment resulting from the tainted cork. 😂😢

1989. Now we are talking. Perfect condition. Barely any bricking. Intense rustic nose of dark fruit, meat and iron. Full body, resolved tannins and great structure. Complexity carries through the finish. Still alive and kicking.

Beautiful older Cornas, sweet and round dried redfruits, resolved tannins, great balancing acidity, almost feminine (apropo Mother's Day) in its presence, super long finish!
