2007 Vinsobres, Les Cornuds, Domaine Perrin Père et Fils

Vinsobres is, according to Marc Perrin, the natural homestead of the Syrah variety, its altitude and geographical make-up perhaps not dissimilar to the Northern Rhône. Les Cornuds is accordingly beautifully perfumed, with notes of jasmine and lavender highlighting a savoury mid-palate flourish and ripe and expressive fruit overlaying silky tannins

Very pure, with super racy red cherry, raspberry and violet notes that stretch out through the lengthy, graphite-filled finish. Lovely, integrated acidity. Delicious. Drink now through 2011. 5,000 cases made.
