Note di degustazione
(no new oak) Opaque ruby. Ripe dark berries, cherry cola, olive and candied flowers on the highly perfumed nose; a smoky element adds complexity. Energetic blackberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors show excellent clarity, and a hint of licorice gains strength with air. The floral-accented finish shows impressive clarity, and supple tannins fold quickly into the intense dark fruit.

The estate produced two Cornas cuvées in 2014, as well as a terrific St Joseph. Violets, blackberries, black raspberries, crushed rocks and peppery herbs all emerge from the gorgeously pure, balanced, medium-bodied 2014 Cornas les Chailles. It has solid depth of fruit, ripe, polished tannin and a great finish, and it's already hard to resist.
Saturated ruby. Fresh cherry and red berry aromas pick up notes of woodsmoke, anise and olive with air. Spicy, concentrated and sharply focused on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and floral pastille flavors underscored by juicy acidity. Finishes sweet and long, the slow-building tannins folding into the wine's juicy red fruit. This suave Cornas should drink very nicely in the medium term but will also age gracefully on its balance.
Juicy, baked fruit. Blackcurrant and black cherry. Fine tannic outline gives definition, and the acidity balances well. Lacking a bit of aromatic range, perhaps. (RH)
