Maybe the best Cotes du Rhone. Young but awesome nose. Deep, rich and ripe berry fruit. Grapey. Wow this is great and this is like a barrel sample. Wild berry. Big, deep, dark, muscular and so concentrated. So elegant. Stunning. Wow. Incredible freshness.

Cellar raid #23 - mini Cornas from GG - brooding, becoming feral, still young.

Exuberant nose of violets, dark berries and white pepper. Touches of cedar, funk and bacon present initially but seem to blow off. First taste was best, as it quickly became a bit thick and grippy, though I’d still call the tannins fine grained. This is maybe middle of the road - neither modern nor impenetrably rustic. For a big Syrah this is glugable now but I expect it to start hitting its stride in 10-15y, as there’s plenty of stuffing.
