Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
2021 is so classic in the Rhone. Nose is red berries, black berries and very elegant and restrained. Very mineral. So subtle and beautiful. Palate is so round, understated, fresh and pure. This is stunning. Perfumed and so elegant now with air. Some violets. What elegant and refined tannins. This is utterly classic and 21 is as classic in the Rhone as it is in Burgundy. This is blowing me away. Now black olive tapenade, blueberry, and stunning florals. Really compelling wine. Palate is so fresh, elegant and rainwater like. Just such a unique expression in a unique vintage. Really wow stuff and so different than the usual black fruited, opulent and inky Rhone wines of 2019/2020/2017/2018. Nose is so gorgeous. Subtle. Palate is so compact. Wonderful.
Overnight this has gotten crazy. The most subtle and beautiful nose ever. Florals and berries that are so so precise. Wow. Palate has perfect balance and poise. Stunning purity and freshness and not at all squishy and over the top. So elegant. 9.6.
