Auguste Clape, Cornas 2004

1.5cm

94 Points CellarTracker

Northern Rhone night: Much better than my last bottle a year ago which was too sweet and lacked structure. Showed more similarly to the excellent ‘95 that I had a couple of years ago. Blackberries, some cassis and a wine that unfurled and became more inviting in the glass. So northern Rhone, so Cornas if you know what I mean. In a perfect drinking window. 1/13/2024

Ruby-red. Classic Cornas on the nose, with strong scents of red berries, cherry, blackcurrant, smoked meat, candied violet, anise and minerals; this has all the syrah food groups covered. Dense and sweet, with impressively concentrated red and dark berry flavors, bright minerality and fine-grained tannins. Finishes sweet and long, with strong fruit and just the slightest hints of game and earth. Clape describes this one as 'delicate, but absolutely Cornas.' (JR) (1/2007)
