Note di degustazione
The 1999 Cornas Domaine St.-Pierre was an outstanding effort prior to bottling. The wine is lean, medium-bodied, and closed, with little stuffing, density, or muscle. It is an emaciated example that has not survived the mise en bouteille. Although it will last for 10-12 years, it will not provide much pleasure. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel.

Medium ruby. Expressive aromas of roasted cherry and currant, chocolate and damp earth. Flamboyantly rich and thick but with good cut. Complicating vegetal and humus notes contribute to the impression of terroir Finishes very subtle and long, with thick, satiny tannins. From a south-facing amphitheater vineyard that ripens slowly and thoroughly in a year like '99; the fruit here was harvested on October 12. Offers superb potential.

Moderately saturated medium red. Superripe aromas of cherry, currant, roast coffee, chocolate and earth. Concentrated and penetrating, with lovely vinosity and soil-inflected inner-mouth aromatics. Finishes firm and long. Built to age.
