Heiner Lobenberg über:
Cornas Renaissance 2016

93–95
/100

Lobenberg: Dunkles Rubinrot mit schwarzen Reflexen. Schon in der Nase trotz hoher Mineralität deutlich femininer und zugänglicher als der Cornas. Kirsche, Himbeere und leichte erdige Würze und steinige Mineralität. Im Mund viel mehr Charme als der Cornas, wieder Kirsche, auch etwas Erdbeere, feine Bitterstoffe, traumhafte Länge. Es bleibt die Power eines Cornas, aber in der Zugänglichkeit kommt eher etwas wie Saint Joseph durch. Feine, charmante Süße. Schicker Wein. Macht viel Spaß. 93-95/100

Suckling über: Cornas Renaissance

-- Suckling: Super fresh and composed with some slate, iodine and spiced red plum fruits. The palate has a very sleek, smooth and fine core, nicely phrased tannins, elegant, focused. Best from 2022. 95/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Cornas Renaissance

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Starting with what could be considered the younger vine cuvée, the 2016 Cornas Renaissance boasts a saturated purple color as well as a heady, intense bouquet of black plums, cedarwood, iron, and incense. It’s a wild, exotic Cornas (and that’s Clape) that has full-bodied richness, a big mid-palate, and building tannins. It’s certainly more approachable than the grand vin, yet it needs a solid 4-5 years of bottle age to be drinkable. 94+/100

Galloni über: Cornas Renaissance

-- Galloni: Shown as four single-vineyard components: #1) Patou: high-pitched black raspberry, cherry and violet scents, backed by a smoky nuance. Juicy and lithe in the mouth, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavors and a sweetening hint of cola. Tightens up on the finish, which is framed by supple, even tannins. #2) Tezier: suave, expressive aromas of ripe blue fruits, potpourri and smoky Indian spices. Smooth and broad on the palate, offering sweet blueberry, licorice and candied violet flavors and a touch of spicecake. #3) young vines in Reynard: Gorgeous, sharply focused floral and dark berry scents that pick up a minerally aspect with air. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated cassis and boysenberry flavors that tighten up on the back half. Very long and focused; smooth tannins make a cameo appearance. #4) Petite Côte: deep-pitched dark fruit preserve, licorice, cracked pepper and espresso scents, joined by a slowly emerging hint of olive. Stains the palate with bitter cherry and cassis flavors that take a sweeter turn on the back half. Surprisingly lively for its heft, showing strong closing grip and resonating spiciness. 93-95/100

Parker über: Cornas Renaissance

-- Parker: I tasted from several foudres earmarked for the 2016 Cornas Renaissance. All showed good ripeness and richness allied to ample fruit and balanced tannins. 91-94/100

Wine Spectator über: Cornas Renaissance

-- Wine Spectator: Winey, with an intense core of steeped black currant, bitter plum and warm fig fruit flavors, backed by a range of charcoal, singed alder, bay leaf, cast iron and dark olive notes. Has a grippy edge, but this remains very well-integrated, revealing a steady, precise finish. 94/100
