Note di degustazione
This cuvée comes from three parcels of granite soils and very old vines. It’s partially destemmed and brought up mostly in used barrels. The 2016 Cornas Vin Noir is meaty and black-fruited, with full-bodied richness and depth as well as notes of leafy herbs, truffle, woodsmoke, and game. It’s closed down since release but is still a beautiful, impressive wine. Give bottles another couple of years.

Made in what some might call a modern (i.e., oak-inflected) style, Robert's 2016 Cornas Vin Noir features aromas of blueberries, roasted meat and baking spices. Full-bodied, supple and rich, it finishes velvety, with tremendous length. It's a blend of old vines from three parcels, aged 14 months in four-year-old barrels.
Opaque ruby. Heady dark berry preserve, incense, olive paste and exotic spice aromas show excellent clarity and pick up mineral and cola nuances with air. Broad, sappy and appealingly sweet, offering palate-staining black and blue fruit, violet pastille and spicecake flavors and a suggestion of candied licorice. Tightens up on the extremely persistent finish, which features blueberry, spicecake and cracked pepper notes and slowly building tannins.
