Tasting notes
The 2003 Cornas Vieilles Vignes is an amazing wine that tips the scales at 13% alcohol. Black as midnight oil, the wine offers a gorgeous nose of blackberries, blueberries, creosote, and camphor. It is full-bodied, with fabulous texture, a huge, inky, thick mouthfeel, and a long finish. This is monumental Cornas that should evolve for 20+ years.

Dark ruby. Intensely floral and juicy on the nose, with pungent notes of bitter cherry, rose and lavender. Energetic and juicy in the mouth, with blackberry, cherry cola and iron flavors building and expanding into the long finish, which features firm structure and impressive power.
