Domaine Clape Cornas 2023
Descrizione
Domaine Clape Cornas representa la máxima expresión y el origen indiscutible de la Syrah en el Ródano norte. Pionera en embotellar su propia producción en esta célebre denominación, la familia Clape custodia viejas terrazas de granito con una maestría puramente artesanal. Sin despalillar y criado en antiguos foudres de roble, este tinto es la quintaesencia de un paisaje austero y fascinante. Un monovarietal monumental, complejo y lleno de carácter que no admite atajos, concebido con una solidez y elegancia atemporales. Una joya imprescindible para comprender el alma del Ródano más auténtico.

Recensioni degli esperti
Bottled just one month before my tasting, Clape’s 2023 Cornas opens with a deep, introverted bouquet of cassis, mulberries and licorice mingled with carnal notes. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it’s built around a firm, somewhat austere palate with a good chassis of youthful tannins that lead to a spicy, lead pencil-inflected finish. Despite its brooding character, it should benefit from time in the cellar.
Although this wine definitely belongs to the deep end of Cornas with its great density and very compact core, the tannins are wonderfully plush, seeming to melt in the extremely long, crisp and stony finish. Still really young, but who can resist the appeal of the violet aroma?
A tasting of the constituent parts, so this is a provisional score. The 2023 is less ripe in style than the 2022. It has plentiful herbal notes, encompassing oregano, bay leaf and liquorice, with blueberry fruit. It looks like a more classic vintage than the recent run of hot years; structured, with classically bold and textural Cornas tannins and bright acidity, akin to 2006 or 2007 in style. Should be an athletic, energetic style that will take on impressive complexity in time.
