Je ne vais pas trop vanter la qualité de ce Millésime 2009 - assez exceptionnel, au demeurant… D’autres s’en sont chargés, bien avant moi, et bien avant même que les vins aient fini de fermenter, un exercice étrange pour moi, qui ne suis pas une voyante lisant dans le marc de café !

Densely packed, with fig paste, currant confiture and plum pate de fruit notes, all framed by dark roasted tobacco leaf, smoldering black tea notes and a bittersweet chocolate hint. The long finish cruises with authority.

Really tasty palate with an exuberant, rich core. Good balance, oak will integrate.

Bright purple. More intensely perfumed than the Coteaux bottling and showing its oak. The palate offers sexy dark fruit preserve and floral pastille qualities and a strong spicy character. Finishes ripe and expansive, with lingering notes of blueberry, violet and allspice.

Extremely dark crimson. Rather more high toned and aromatic than the Coteaux bottling. From vines that are 80 to 100 years old. Really wonderfully successful – so reverberant and ripe yet with massive tannins. Explosively mineral, this is a wine to convert the greatest Cornas doubter, hem hem. Fabulously silky texture wraps up those ripe tannins. Very dry finish for the moment but it should all come right eventually.
