I would image there are very few bottles of this left on planet Earth. I am humbled to assist in the elimination of one of the last of its kind. Still ruby red but more amber on the edges. Licorice berries and leather on the nose. Layers of burnt berries and chocolate along with a red/ black licorice finish. Wow — 6 years ago

Yet another wine that has presented perfectly on day two. I have more respect for Cali producers who produce juice that is able to stands upright on day two. It's still ultra-rich, and deeply textured. Kudos to the winemaker. There are also some very interesting text referencing early English monarchs on the front label. Will ask my art historian daughter to assist with decoding the faint signals. — 8 years ago

Quite full and rich for such a young Cornas...the structure indicates a wine that will age gracefully yet it can be consumed now (with an assist from a decanter) — 8 years ago

Handel Lee's bottle drank in Shanghai and yes it was real thing! Cork in good shape albeit tore upon pulling...no Ah-So to assist but wine opened and sang for over an hour. Dried cherries, roses, Asian spices...Sous Bois. Balanced acids and firm backbone. A hell of a treat! This bottle at its peak and just a beaut! — 8 years ago

Delicious through and through! Hazelnut, almond, and a little caramel assist the pineapple, green pear and apple fruits. Slight amount of butter to the round mid palate but it is assisted by very nice acidity the entire time. Very nice long lingering finish! — 9 years ago

Ultra smooth and decadent. Excellent oak treatment. Intense black and red fruits, particularly raspberries. Perfect acidity. Tannins are fully integrated, which assist with the structure. Outstanding! — 8 years ago

Another excellent SB, served at close to ambient temp, which funnily enough assist with creating the aromatics.

The nose was so delicate and inviting (as was its appearance in the glass). I detected lemon and a hint of lime. Not sure if this wine sees oak, but I did detect woody overtones. I loved the expression on the palette. Hints of pineapple, honey and brioche mingle. It finishes with a zippy texture which is a wonderful final chapter. — 8 years ago

Vibrant nose and color in the glass - pomegranate and dark cherry - ala texbook burgundy with some white truffle and wet forest floor. The palate seems young and vibrant - but has incredible depth and structure. The tannins are med weight and can easily assist this wine over the next 12-15 years (2027-2030). — 9 years ago
