Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Cornas AOC requires 100% Syrah, this wine is well made and has all the characteristics of a great Syrah, deep purple color, lovely nose the opens with notes of barnyard, followed by violets, blueberry, red current, cassis, lavender and geranium, medium to full fruity body, well structured and fully integrated tannins, lovely acidity and a long delicious finish. The wine just starts to open up and I would wait a couple of years before drinking, yet will stock now as this one is representing today a great value. My score 89, drink to 2021 perhaps longer

Really lovely black fruits, smoke, herbs, minerals and violets. Still just a youngster that can use a little time. But so rich and vibrant right now.

Visual: violeta intenso, joven. Sin defectos.
Nariz: Frambuesa, ciruela, blackberry. La fruta madura. Spicy, pimienta predominante. Intenso.
Boca: fruta y spice intenso. Buen volumen y acidez pero todavia tanico. Complejo y largo en boca. Puede beneficiarse de tiempo en la botella. (Ambrosia)

World Of Wines 7/8/16. Saved the best for last. Buttery nose, smooth character overall. Extremely drinkable, nice pairing with tangy cheese.
