Note di degustazione
While they didn’t present this cuvee in 2012, I sourced a bottle of 2009 Cornas les Terrasses du Serre locally to see a slightly older vintage. Classic Cornas, with chewy, meaty, bloody notes of black fruits, lavender, olive tapenade and violets, this beauty has everything you could want from a Syrah from these steep granite slopes. Full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully textured, with integrated acidity and plenty of tannin, drink it anytime over the coming decade or more.

Inky purple. Powerful, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of dark berries, cola and violet, with a smoky nuance in the background. Sappy, penetrating blueberry and bitter cherry flavors show excellent depth and pick up a meaty note with aeration. Dusty tannins give shape to a long, smoky finish, which boasts terrific energy and focus.
Very ripe damson and what smells like VA or maybe it is the remnant of malo. Similarly ripe on the palate but also a strong flavour of smoked meat, even a bit sweaty. Odd and not very pleasant though the tannins are rounded. (JH)
