Terres Brulées Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Oh so tasty. Oh so interesting also oh so I wish I had a brick of Brie to eat with. This could use more time. 7 years? Child’s play for a big wine line this. There are tannins galore, and the leather and earth and blood need at least another year. But I’m still so into this Cornas. Would love to taste their...2005. Ever date someone and it is not the right time for either but...that’s this. I’m sure if I am not going steady with another Cornas in five years I will have a night of passion with this one.

Smoked wild game, ripe plum, cracked pepper, and blackberry, with a backdrop of dried lavender, Worcestershire, and roasting coffee. Sauvage and savory.

Wow, rustic and balanced - does not drink like a 10 year old wine

Aug 29th, 2021Tastes like a new world wine made in the old world, which is a good thing! Very terroir driven and spicy! A lot of layers to unpack and good for another decade or three!

Deep notes of spiced raspberry with smoked meat and leather. Drank this over two days and on day two the complexity really started to show. Looking forward to checking back in a few years. I think patience will be rewarded nicely here
