More austere and structured, the 2010 Cornas Reynard offers up a thrilling array of graphite, crushed rock, liquid violet and both black and blue fruits on the nose. Gaining hints of bacon fat and game with air, it hits the palate with a full-bodied, rich and concentrated profile that carries masses of sweet tannin, bright acidity and serious length. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring and enjoy it over the following two decades.
Super rich and deeply ripe, this is packed with dark fruits as well as violets, pepper, flint and graphite-derived aromas amid notes of dark Belgian chocolate. The palate delivers a sweeping wave of perfectly ripe tannins and a seamless build through red and dark plums to black-cherry liqueur. Complex spicy elements and a profound sense of elegance with power resound. Finishes all velvety. A brilliant wine with a lot more to come here in terms of unfurling and filling out. Best from 2025 and a decade or two after that.
