Jeb Dunnuck (96-99 points):
"The 2018 Cornas Pur Noir is a tiny selection of the choice lots and will see 14 months in barrel. A much more bloody, meaty nose of sweet blue fruits, ground pepper, iodine, olives, and violets gives way to a full-bodied Cornas that packs plenty of muscle and depth, yet stands apart for the class of its tannins, balance, and length. This isn't your grandfather’s Cornas, and it comes close to an Hermitage-like finesse and refinement, while still being pure Cornas. Bravo.!"

Rober Parker's Wine Advocate (95-98 points):
"Production of Robert's 2018 Cornas Pur Noir will be either one or two barrels, sourced from a tiny parcel next to Champelrose and La Fontaine. Full-bodied and dense yet not over-extracted or overripe, both barrels I tasted from showed an impressive degree of elegance, potent plum and cassis flavors and tremendous finishes."

Galloni (96 points):
"Saturated purple. An expansive, highly complex bouquet evokes fresh black/blue fruits, peony and smoky bacon, along with suggestions of olive, licorice and dark chocolate. Offers deeply concentrated, mineral- and spice-accented blackberry liqueur and bitter cherry flavors that show excellent delineation and take on a smoky aspect as the wine opens up. Finishes broad, spicy and extremely long, with building tannins and a suave, strongly persistent floral note."
