Note di degustazione
Deep, berry-driven nose. Very compact and intense. Very Cornas; very Clape. Dark chocolate on the palate, coffee and smoke, rounded tannins but there is far more flavour complexity still locked up – this one needs patience. (RH)

From an abundant vintage, the 2012 Clape Cornas has always been on the somewhat forward side and is drinking quite well right now. Displaying plenty of exotic floral and spice character to go along with its juicy black raspberry and cherry flavors, this is a highly appealing, graceful midweight wine, with a hint of smoked meat appearing on the gently tannic, long and incisive finish.
Tasted blind. Savoury and leathery with zest and dryness. Surely French? Not luscious but correct. (JR)
Opaque ruby. Heady aromas of fresh dark berries, cherry compote, potpourri and incense, along with a minerally topnote. Sweet and velvety in texture, offering deep, palate-staining dark berry and violet pastille flavors enlivened by juicy acidity. Supple tannins build slowly on the long, penetrating finish, which leaves notes of blue fruit and candied flowers behind.
