Marcel Juge Cornas, 1994

This is a classic old-style Cornas at a perfect stage of maturity. As a Northern Rhone Syrah, Cornas is a bit more rustic than its siblings from Hermitage and Cote Rotie. I love the style.

Very light brick color, showing maturity. Lifted bouquet, more red than black fruit. Intense flavors of cherries, black olives, mushrooms, minerals. Special old vine fruit and traditional wine making. Reverberates on the tongue with flavors that seem to last forever.
