One of the top efforts, the 2011 Cornas (aged 15 months in one- to two-year-old barrels) is a big, voluptuous and textured effort that offers up peppery cassis and dark fruits, underbrush and earth to go with medium to full-bodied richness, building tannin and serious length on the palate. A big, sexy Cornas, it stays lively and fresh, with fantastic purity of fruit. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years.
