Note di degustazione
There are always two cuvees of Cornas, and like some of the most traditional producers I taste, the wines are often better out of bottle than the barrel and/or foudre samples. That is the case with 2004, where both wines revealed significantly more flavor and intensity than they did last year. The 2004 Cornas Renaissance has a dark ruby purple color, a sweet nose of plum, blackberry, licorice, and smoke, a beautiful, round, opulent texture, and surprising length, richness, and headiness. This is a terrific effort in this challenging vintage. Drink it over the next decade. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524

Medium red. Intense floral and red berry aromas are bright and pungent. Supple and juicy, with fresh raspberry and cherry flavors, silky tannins and a long, lush finish. A late-arriving smoked meat quality and lingering sweet red berry tones add complexity to this distinctly suave Cornas.
Deep red. The floral, spicy, red berry-dominated bouquet builds in complexity with air. Minerally and expressive, with a vibrant red berry profile, a velvety texture, and bracing tannins. Quite elegant through the finish, which is lifted by bright fruity acidity and a light peppery note. Very promising wine from Cornas vines that are between 15 and 40 years old.
