Mar 15th, 20152012. Great., nice ripe red and black fruit . Hints of tobacco and a bit of minerality. Med bodied. Tart at first but opened beautifully with savory accents. Wish had better food pairings to let it really shine...

Mar 8th, 2015As Ed said, this is not in any way a typical CDR. Made from Syrah from St. Peray and declassified Cornas this is baby Clape Cornas, which is still better than many producers top cuvees. Tons of spicey, white pepper laced fruit slathered in mineral extract. Great stuff.
