Chaillot Cornas Syrah

Pure and games with plum and sour cherry. Loads of character and intensity.

Pretty good wine for an electrician.

Of course the 2014 Chaillot is in its early stages (although it is considered to be an early maturing and approachable vintage for Northern Rhône), but a multi-hour pre-dinner decant served it well as it was very open, giving and multidimensional showing great depth, power and an elegant backbone. Black raspberries, liquid stones, violets and a hint of black olive. There is a great midpalate richness leading to a long, finessed and lifted finish.

Leaner profile than some vintages earlier in decade. Arguably more classic.

Taught and focused.

Lovely, floral, and savory

Always impressive! Consistent with my many prior notes

Another great one showing finesse & elegance with black cherry, berry, spice, crushed rock, licorice, graphite & violets

Impressive with its aromatic’s, elegance & balance

This was hitting on all cylinders, gobs of black cherry, red berry fruit with a mineral core, pepper, licorice & violet.
