Auguste Clape Cornas 2004

eRobertParker.com #214 Aug 2014 Jeb Dunnuck 90 Drink: 2014 - 2017 We finished the tasting with the 2004 Cornas, and it’s an outstanding, layered, medium-bodied effort that has plenty of kirsch, leather, incense and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. Drinking nicely today, I’d enjoy bottles over the coming couple of years. Always a fun visit, this small vertical took place in Clape’s cellar in Cornas, with Pierre-Marie Clape, who’s now running the estate. We also tasted through multiple barrels of their 2012s and 2013s, but I’ll wait and include that commentary in the northern Rhone report due out in October.
