A cult and very limited wine - the nose has clear notes of olives, which are calmed down and reveal sweet spices - a high minerality and remarkable power with balanced acidity and fruit., super balanced acidity and fruit. Clear notes of liquorice, pepper and cinnamon on the palate.

More blue fruits, candied violets, iron, smoked meats, and truffly notes emerge from the 2019 Cornas. A bigger, richer wine, offering full-bodied richness, building, beautiful tannins, and just about flawless balance, it almost reminds me of the 2010, which is just now starting to drink brilliantly.
96-98 Points – JEB DUNNUCK FEB 2022

Tremendously dense and powerful, the 2019 Cornas is a dazzling, dark-fruited beast that's loaded with mint, cassis and licorice notes. Full-bodied and almost overflowing with intensity, it somehow manages to pull all that impressive richness and extract into a silky, fine-grained finish of amazing length and elegance. Unless you are hell-bent on trying it on release, give it some time in the cellar - it should be peaking around 2035 or so.
95-97 Points – JOE CZERWINSKI (ROBERT PARKER) FEB 2022
