Score 94/100 + Editor's choice : Cornas 2011 Arènes sauvages Sélection Parcellaire
“While ripe black-cherry and plum flavors are lavish here, striking acidity and a firm mineral backbone lend grace to this full-bodied red. Perfumed with notes of violet, smoke and truffle, it’s a complex, composed wine that should improve through 2030 and hold further.”
Score 93/100 + Editor's Choice : Hermitage rouge 2014 Grand Classique
“Hints of charcuterie and dried fennel lend savory complexity to pristine black-plum and cherry flavors on the medium-bodied and supple palate. It’s edged by firm but dusty tannins and a peppery freshness. Approachable but very elegant now, it should improve through 2016 and hold further.”
