Jeb Dunnuck (93 points):
"The base 2017 Cornas is classic and a great introduction into the wines of the domaine. Black raspberries, cassis, toasted spice, incense, smoke game, and plenty of minerality all flow to a full-bodied Cornas that has silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. You certainly wouldn't be disappointed with a case of this in the cellar."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (91-94 points):
"Robert owns four hectares in Cornas, divided into many small parcels along the slope. My projection for his 2017 Cornas is based on tasting a few components from barrel, which expressed varying elements of crushed stone, Christmas spices, violets and cassis. Licorice, normally a sign of super ripe Syrah, is also in evidence. It should turn out to be a medium to full-bodied wine, with a rich, velvety texture and plenty of concentration."
