Auguste Clape, Cornas 2005

94 Points CellarTracker

Candie Does Cassoulet (Candie's, Mpls): Medium dark red color. Drank a glass over 90 minutes. Thishad 2 hours of slow O time. Provocative nose with a lot of deep moss and damp earthy forest floor, candied cherry fruit, followed by cassis and plum, tons of spices, sauvage, and suggestions of iron and metals. The palate is bright with cherry, candied cherry, cassis, huckleberry, iron, deep earth tones, high toned spice, sauvage, tart berries, round and medium fine tannins and a bit of a metallic finish. This is filled with tension and complexity. Loved it. 4/3/2024

This is the Rock of Gibraltar vintage. A brick house of a wine, with a tremendous core of racy red currant and black cherry fruit that's locked behind a wall of dense but sleek tannins. Still very taut, but so pure and racy, with the minerality blazing through the finish. Wait, wait, wait. *Collectable, Ranked #29 in Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2008* (JM) (6/2010)
