WA 99 (12/2011): Tasting the 2009 Cornas reminds me of a lyric from the great Who anthem, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." As close to perfect as a Cornas can be, this is the single greatest Cornas I have ever tasted. Its black/purple color is accompanied by notes of blueberry liqueur, blackberries, charcoal, incense, licorice and a subtle notion of smoke. This seamless, full-bodied, exquisitely pure, complex, savory blockbuster is the most remarkable Cornas I have ever tasted. It will hit full maturity in 5-7 years, and should last for 25-30 years thereafter.
VM 95 (4/2012): Opaque violet color. The nose offers a kaleidoscopic bouquet of red and dark berry scents along with incense, candied violet, licorice and smoky minerals. Pretty much a distillation of syrah, showing superb clarity and intensity on the palate, with excellent depth and clarity to the sweet black raspberry and floral pastille flavors. The mineral quality builds with air and adds focus and cut to the long, spicy, strikingly pure finish. This is one of the best wines I tasted from the northern Rhone this vintage and appears to be destined for a very long life.
JLL ***** (12/2009): Some different sites 1) Petites Côtes (late 1970s Syrah) **** full, purple robe. Reduction leads the bouquet - behind it lies fat, jam airs, similar to 2003. Full palate, delivers steady richness, a cherry jam, ends on assertive tannins. There is a lot of wine in the glass here, it is wide. “It was very hard, not that supple at first," Auguste Clape. 19-22 years life. 2) Sabarotte (press wine re-added) **** full robe. Steady, lateral aroma, acetate, red cherry, is ripe. Interesting fruit start to this, length continues, good, solid finale. Finish is complete. 22 years. 3) La Côte (1954-56) still 2.6 gm of sugar, is 14.8% this year, high. Full, purple robe. Raisin, prune and some spirit and smoke on nose, baked airs. Forceful, firm red fruits with a glow on the end. Broad and grounded palate. “Our most Australian contributor," Pierre Clape. 23 yrs. 4) Reynards (av 60 yr Syrah) ***** bright purple. Fine aroma, blackberry, elegant, attractive roundness. Measured berry fruit along the palate, leads to a firm ending. Just keeps its power under control. Has good grip, a fine texture. “It is good, but not really Reynards - the early astringence blocks the complexity, and a bit more raising is needed," Auguste Clape. “It is more fresh and mineral than La Côte," Pierre Clape. 14.3. 22 yrs. OVERALL ****(*) or maybe ***** as the elevage in oak continues to meld it together. Well, a big wine this year - cuvees over 14%. Certainly rich foundations, with a degree of early austerity. Likely to be “impressive" when 6-9 years` old - ie will offer gourmand, rich drinking, even though it could become more complex after 10 years` old. |

VM 96 (12/2022): Saturated ruby. Ripe, spice-accented blackcurrant, kirsch, olive paste, candied flowers and smoked meat on the expansive nose. Offers deeply pitched black and blue fruit, exotic spice, olive and licorice flavors and a strong mineral underpinning. Steadily building tannins add shape and grip to an impressively long, smoky finish that emphatically repeats the floral and mineral notes. Josh Raynolds.
JD 97+ (2/2022): The 2018 Cornas is a classic wine from this renowned estate that's 100% Syrah, mostly from the Reynard lieu-dit, brought up all in ancient foudre and casks. This is as classic and old school as they come, and the 2018 is as Clape as it gets with its bloody blue fruits, liquid violet, smoked game, pepper, bay leaf, and iron-like aromas and flavors. More medium to full-bodied on the palate, it doesn't have the sheer richness of the 2015 or 2017, and if anything, reminds me slightly of the 2016 with its incredible purity, balance, and finesse. The structure and tannins, which were more up-front and present from barrel, have a more round, seamless feel that gives this some up-front appeal. Granted, I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it certainly benefited from lots of air. This is a vintage that could certainly continue to offer pleasure over the coming decade and never really shut down, yet I suspect this will firm up quickly over the coming 2-4 years and require at least a decade of bottle age to really show its true potential. I promise, you will not be disappointed to have this in your cellar. (Drink starting 2034) |

VM 97-98 (12/2022): Glass-staining ruby. Intensely perfumed dark berry preserve, violet oil, olive, cured meat and woodsmoke scents show fine definition and vibrant spice- and mineral-driven lift. Offers palate-staining, spice-laced blackberry, bitter cherry, fruitcake and violet pastille flavors that deepen and open up steadily through the midpalate, while maintaining energy. The strikingly long, penetrating finish features youthfully chewy tannins, a sweet touch of cola and lingering floral and exotic spice qualities. All whole clusters and no new oak, as usual. Josh Raynolds.
JD 95-97 (2/2022): As with the Renaissance, the 2020 Cornas was tasted from a handful of ancient foudres, and this cuvée gets the older vines of the estate as well as a good portion from the Reynard lieu-dit. This always tends to be more structured, concentrated, and tannic, yet all of the 2020s appear to be elegant and more finesse-driven, while certainly not lacking in structure. These are pure, classic, textbook Clape Cornas in the making. |

| VM 94-95 (5/2020): Powerful, mineral-driven aromas of ripe black/blue fruits, candied flowers, olive, musky earth and exotic spices. Densely packed and animated on the palate, offering bitter cherry, blueberry and spicecake flavors that unwind slowly with air and show fine delineation. The blue fruit and floral notes drive an impressively long, spice-laced finish that's given shape by fine-grained, slowly building tannins. Josh Raynolds. |

JD 95 (12/2022): The 2019s, now from bottle, are pure gold at this estate, and this is clearly a great vintage for this incredible family. Beautifully perfumed with red, black, and blue fruits as well as iron and leather, the 2019 Cornas Renaissance hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a ripe, rounded mouthfeel, and a sunny, opulent character that already offers pleasure. This will nevertheless benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and, I suspect, have 15 years of longevity.
VM 94 (12/2022): Opaque ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of dark berry liqueur, succulent flowers, olive paste and baking spices show very good clarity and mineral lift. Juicy blackberry, kirsch, chewing tobacco and floral pastille flavors display sharp definition and take on a smoky aspect with air. The long, energetic finish features building tannins and resonating spice, smoke and mineral nuances. Josh Raynolds. |
