2007 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas
FRANCE / RHÔNE / CORNAS
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 93
($102) Vivid ruby. Highly expressive bouquet of fresh raspberry, cherry, violet and black olive, with slow-building minerality. More lively and precise than the Renaissance, with strong mineral cut to the expansive red fruit flavors. Silky tannins arrive with air and add grip to the long, spicy, impressively pure finish. This wine picked up a lot of richness in the glass but maintained vibrancy and clarity.Author: Josh RaynoldsIssue: January/February 2010Wine Advocate | Rating: 92
A bigger wine, the 2007 Cornas exhibits notes of scorched earth, new saddle leather, blackberries, cassis, figs, and tobacco leaf. Luscious by Clape's standards, it should age nicely for 15 years.Author: Robert Parker
