"Glass-staining purple. Explosive aromas of blackberry, candied cherry and Asian spices are lifted by a suave floral element. Sweet, lush and intense, with a mineral quality sharpening the intense, palate-staining dark fruit liqueur flavors. Very pure and delineated, finishing with fine-grained tannins, tangy cut and outstanding persistence." -Josh Raynolds

"Flirting with perfection, the 2010 Cornas Les Eygats boasts a fabulous bouquet of incense, subtle smoke, black truffles, pen ink, blackberries and cassis. Massive with sweet tannin as well as an unreal skyscraper-like texture across the mid-palate, this broad, savory, classic Cornas should drink well for 25+ years." -Robert M. Parker, Jr.

"This has lots of vigorous raspberry and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors, lined liberally with racy chalk and iron notes and backed by bitter cherry, blood orange and anise on the finish. Shows serious cut and detail."
