2007 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillots, Rhone, France
92 Points - Wine Spectator
“Sappy but racy, with layers of coffee, graphite and black olive allied to braised fig and macerated currant fruit. Pastis and lavender notes skitter through on the finish, with latent acidity hanging on as well.” (JM)
93 Points - Vinous
“Bright purple. Pungent, expressive aromas of blackberry, cracked pepper, Asian spices, graphite and tobacco. Spherical and silky, with fine-grained tannins framing the sweet dark berry and spice flavors. A sexy floral note comes up with air and carries through the long, juicy, impressively pure finish. This fat-free wine impresses more with elegance than power.” (JR)
