Score 93/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Dec 2014

Leading off the three 2012 Cornas releases, the straight 2012 Cornas’s inky purple color is followed by terrific notes of black raspberry, cassis, toasted spice and creamy licorice. About as polished and elegant as Cornas gets, it’s medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, with incredible purity of fruit. Like most 2012s, it’s already approachable, yet it will certainly shine for a decade or more.

Score 91-93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Mar 2014

Inky purple. Ripe, expansive dark berry compote and violet aromas are complicated by suggestions of cola, licorice and cured tobacco. The palate offers deeply pitched blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that show a seamless quality and emphatic spiciness. Finishes smoky and long, with smooth tannins and lingering dark berry character.
