In the sparsely populated camp that believes Condrieu can age. Sure, after a few years it’s less aromatic, showy and fruity, but there’s still more than enough lovely apricot happening, along with a lovely honeyed and waxy thing going on. More mellow and integrated and probably better with food — black truffle, asparagus and lavish amounts of butter. — 5 months ago
Blackcurrant and leather notes. Very savoury on the palate - a little disappointing to be honest. See previous Delectable note. I haven’t had a lot of experience with Cornas and was looking forward to this because of its stellar reputation. I have a reasonable collection of Clape Cornas in my cellar which are not ready to drink yet. To be honest this was a bit underwhelming compared to many stellar Shiraz we are lucky enough to have in Australia. Hopefully the Clape, the Rostaing and the Jamet with time in my cellar will be impressive. — 2 months ago
