"100% Syrah aged in oak for 12-18 months (2- to 4-year-old) barrels. This Cornas is a blend from 2 different vineyard sites: 60% of the final blend is from vineyards located on a hillside (20-year-old vines on the “coteau”), planted on sandy soils, decomposed granite and some rocks, giving the structure, spiciness and licorice flavors to the blend. The other 40% of the final blend comes from the bottom of the slope (45 years old vines on the “pied de coteau”), planted on sandy soils, bringing acidity and balance to the wine. Deeper darker black fruit/gamy rustic olive and earthy aromas. Silkier, fresh, less density to Cote Roties, surprisingly. Lots of finesse, fine tannins. Strong gamy mineral finish. Fine length. A lovely wine, sturdy but glowing flavors. Now-2033. - Joe BUTLER MW"
