Clape Cornas 2001

Deep red.

Smoky, menthol, meat stew, licorice aromatics.

Wilted greens in the mouth, with unobtrusive, slightly chewy structure. A bit of celery too. Flavors are bound up - needs air time.

Day 4 - More savory meat and menthol on the nose now. Blackberry jelly underneath. Round, middle-weight feel, with woodsmoke/breakfast sausage dominating flavors. Wilted greens and black fruit undertones. Structure primarily acid-driven.
Long, subtle woodsmoke finish.

Interesting.
