Surprisingly light, turbid ruby with garnet rim. Fresh aroma of carbonic, sour cherry, violet, green olive; slight reductive funk. Slight spritz, light body (13%), thin in mid palate with high acidity, moderately high chunky tannin, prob skin and stem, and refreshing bitterness. Very pretty. Day 2 - spritz gone, acidity medium — 8 years ago
Fruity, earthy, and well balanced. Paired great with the shaking beef — 9 years ago

This vintage 2016 is more delicate than 2015 in this wholecluster tasting , great effort Why don’t more winemakers do this. Certainly my best Cornas , I recall old style Cornas, impossible to approach for years and then still some weirdness even oddness like unclean winemaking. Kudos to Frank Balthazar and Philippe Pacalet. — 7 years ago

Bra vin. Animalisk och kryddig doft, med ren, mörk frukt som tittar fram i smaken. Bra längd. Var tveksam till att öppna redan nu men det gick utmärkt! — 7 years ago

Cornas is & always will be one of my absolutely favorite Appellations in whole France. What a stunning showing from Frank Balthazar. The nose shows a beautiful melange of lush dark cherries, smoked meat, violets, crushed stone and a hint of thyme. On the palate this guy is so well balanced with a beautiful integrated acidity. Very round, fine, long finish with a lovely "graphite" touch on the back end. Can play with a lot of different food. Worth every damn penny. — 9 years ago
