Domaine Dumien Serrette
Les Saveaux Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Methinks the ‘16 Rodano Chianti Reserva outdid this in terms of gamey ness, which is a compliment: gorgeous fruit here, light on bacon fat, very powerful but still svelte & tamed. Sure, another 12-15 years to go, but so generous at its 6year mark. What a treat

I think this rides the line between traditional, rustic Cornas and New wave all together while holding on to its southern origins well. Upon opening its volatility coupled with a kiss of brett and reduction gave the impression that this was going to be a wild and savauge syrah with meaty and funky sweaty notes about. The slightest hint of CO2. Microbiologically active for sure. Fruit was very subdued. Couple hours of air started to release some more primary aromatics. Day 2 is a completely different wine, brimming with friendly and ripe red/black fruit, granite, florals, musty/bosky elements, licorice, iron, sweat, animal. One of those wines were I wanted to mark it down a couple notches but I loved the intrigue it had while remaining so quaffable.

Lovely wine. Stellar aromas. Huge dark berry fruit, hint of Brett, lovely herbs and cassis. Red fruits as well. Lovely granite and just so clean. Palate is stellar and so juicy. Incredible freshness, purity and wonder depth. Great wine and so so 2016.
