Lobenberg: 100% Syrah, biologische Weinbergsarbeit, Spontanvergärung als 50%ige Ganztraubenvergärung. Ausbau zu 50% in neuem Holz. Schon in der dunkelfruchtigen Nase eine grandiose Harmonie ausstrahlend. Satte dunkle Kirsche, Maulbeere, Darjeelingtee, Oliven, malzig, auch Schlehe. Zwar auch hier Kraut, Lorbeer und Wacholder aber alles in fruchtiger Hand. Diese fast fette Frucht ist trotz des maskulinen Touches deutlich rund, konzentrierte Walderdbeere mit Schlehe und Sauerkirscher unterlegt. Im Mund das ganze Cornas-Spektrum von Lorbeer bis Olive, von Lakritz zu Schoko und verbranntem Fleisch, Teer. Veilchen und Lavendel mit Fenchel und Anis. Ungeheuer präsent. Die rote dichte Frucht bindet alles sehr gut ein. Ein Powerwein mit wunderbarer Harmonie, der Zeit braucht. 97-98/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Cornas Vieilles Vignes

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The 2017 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is cut from the same mold yet has a touch more tannins as well as mid-palate density. Notes of crème de cassis, blueberries, camphor, toasted spice, and smoked game all soar from the glass, and it's full-bodied, power-packed, yet elegant and seamless on the palate. Its wealth of fruit largely conceals plenty of underlying structure, and while it's already fun to taste, give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 10-15 years or more. The old vine cuvée comes from the Combe, Patou, La Côte, Les Mazards, and Chaillot lieu-dits, from 60+-year-old vines, was 80% destemmed and spent 20 months in 15-20% new French oak. 97/100

Decanter über: Cornas Vieilles Vignes

-- Decanter: Vines with an average age of 60 years from lieux-dits Combe, Patou, La Côte, Les Mazards and Chaillot provide the fruit for this Cornas. It spends 20 months in barriques, around 20% new. There are multiple layers to the aromatic palate: rosemary, thyme, herbal bitters, blackberry, blackcurrant and loganberry. A medium-bodied, concentrated but unforced wine with no excessive extraction, a subtly spiced finish and sinewy, brushed tannins. Detailed, focussed, structured and textural, this is captivating and true to its terroir.96/100

Wine Enthusiast über: Cornas Vieilles Vignes

-- Wine Enthusiast: Old vines averaging 60years and long oak maturation (20% in new oak) lend spicy, sweet notes of cinnamon toast and clove to deeply concentrated black plum and blackberry WINEMAG.COM |53flavors in this wine. It’s a creamy Syrah, balanced by tart cassis acidity and ripe but firm, lingering tannins. Delicious already, the wine should show even better from 2022and improve through 2037. 96/100

Galloni über: Cornas Vieilles Vignes

-- Galloni: Opaque ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays powerful aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, incense, peony and olive paste. Palate-staining blackberry, boysenberry, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors deepen steadily on the back half. Gains weight and sweetness with air, finishing with a jolt of smoky minerality, sneaky tannins and outstanding persistence. 95/100
