Cornas Vin Noir Syrah

Needed a knock you on your ass so obviously great wine and decided on this. 17 is in a great place as well. Deep nose of blackberry, granite, soil tones, and blueberry. So much but so precise and focused. A lovely pottery studio aroma after air. Palate is ripe and juicy with wonderful precision and freshness and really terrific and succulent fruit. The elegance here is top notch. Beautiful mouthfeel and awesome purity. Such vivid fruit and backed up by terrific granite. Masterful wine. So poised. Let’s see what air does. Maybe it will get better? Long finish that pumps out blackberry on a granite slab. Just awesome. 9.6999.

Immediately on the nose, heady perfume of appealing black syrah fruit: sex, smoke, meat, sweetness, a feral quality. Black fruit bursts on the palate with waves of toasted cacao and coffee notes. Dark spices linger on the finish. This is pure pleasure, and despite not a ton of acidity, it remains vibrant with its depth of flavor. The only thing holding it back are silky but slightly bitter tannins that hold on the finish. I think these will fall out and based on the structure it will keep getting better.
