"The 1996 Cornas Vieilles Vignes boasts a saturated black/purple color, as well as a nose of liquid minerals and blackberry fruit. Massive in the mouth, with little acidity, meaty, leathery components, huge body, and moderate tannin, the acidity seems low, but maybe the level of concentration is higher. This mammoth Cornas should be cellared for 3-4 years; it will keep for two decades."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
