Critics Ratings

'The 2014s are more elegant, silky and streamlined, yet offer classic characters and will evolve gracefully. Tons of cedary spice, pepper, iron, beef blood, crushed rock and new saddle leather, the 2014 Cornas is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and structured, with ripe, present tannin. It needs 2-4 years of cellaring and will have 10-15 years of longevity.' - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Dec 2016)

'Bright purple. Powerful, smoke-accented black and blue fruit, candied flowers, licorice, olive and Indian spices on the deeply perfumed nose. Sappy, concentrated and seamless on the palate, offering alluringly sweet blackberry, cherry compote, violet pastille and spice cake flavors that show excellent clarity and mineral lift. Expressive and surprisingly lithe given its depth, finishing with building tannins and impressive, blue-fruit-dominated persistence.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 94/100 (Jul 2017)
