Cornas 1990 Auguste Clape

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Clape's 1990 Cornas is outstanding. The color is an opaque black/purple, and the nose offers up rich, ripe aromas of black fruits, licorice, and spices. Superconcentrated, with a full-bodied, highly extracted, mouth-filling taste, this example of Cornas possesses moderate tannin, adequate acidity, and a smashingly long finish. It is also relatively refined for a Cornas, displaying no signs of the rustic tannin or funky, earthy smells many Cornas can possess.

Winespectator (87)

Sturdy, fruity and nicely peppery. An elegant wine, with pleasant currant and smoke aromas and flavors that linger gently on the finish.
