2010 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 99 points, Decanter 99 points, Vinous 98 points, Wine Spectator 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2010 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas from Robert Parker - I can’t say the same thing about the 2010 Cornas, as it’s crazily backwards, concentrated and structured, and needs some bottle age to round into form. Nevertheless, the incredible quality is present in its purity, focus, full-bodied richness and awesome finish. Give it another 3-4 years and enjoy it over the following 15-20 years (if not more).
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.
