Score 93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Mar 2013

Inky purple. Explosive aromas of blackberry, violet, mocha, smoky minerals and licorice. Alluringly sweet and expansive in the mouth, with intense flavors of cherry-cola, black and blue fruits and licorice. Voluptuous but surprisingly lithe and precise as well. Supple tannins give shape to the finish, which lingers with outstanding tenacity. This wine is absorbing its oak (100% new) very smoothly.

(raised in 100% new oak): Bright purple. More intensely perfumed than the Coteaux bottling and showing its oak. The palate offers sexy dark fruit preserve and floral pastille qualities and a strong spicy character. Finishes ripe and expansive, with lingering notes of blueberry, violet and allspice.

Extremely dark crimson. Rather more high toned and aromatic than the Coteaux bottling. From vines that are 80 to 100 years old. Really wonderfully successful – so reverberant and ripe yet with massive tannins. Explosively mineral, this is a wine to convert the greatest Cornas doubter, hem hem. Fabulously silky texture wraps up those ripe tannins. Very dry finish for the moment but it should all come right eventually. (JR)
