Cornas Reynard Thierry Allemand 2023 (750ML)

98 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One of the finest wines crafted by Thierry Allemand, the 2023 Cornas Reynard wafts from the glass with aromas of mulberries, blueberries, violet, rose and pepper. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it’s seamless and concentrated, built around a tensile, precise core of fruit framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, ethereal finish. This is a bottle that Northern Rhône lovers will want to have in the cellar." 05/26

96-98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Coming mostly from older vines in the Reynard lieu-dit, the 2023 Cornas Reynard is darker and more mineral-driven, offering loads of violets, cassis, and graphite aromatics. Full-bodied, balanced, and serious on the palate, it delivers incredible purity and finesse, with a finish that won't quit. This is a profound, age-worthy Cornas that's probably the Cornas of the vintage. I'm always amazed how this estate marries the inherent wildness of Syrah grown on this steep, granite slope with incredible finesse and elegance, which I think is the hallmark of Allemand." 05/25
