Guillaume Gilles Cornas Millesime 2007 (750ML)Is there anything in the world quite like pure Syrah from the Northern Rhone? It's a singular expression--bacon fat smashed with black pepper in a smoky well-worn fireplace--and nothing--no other grape, no other soil--comes close to capturing this vino-magic. As a wine drinker, can you live without it? Perhaps as a wine drinker you can, but not as a wine-lover. Well, folks this is Northern Rhone Syrah at its purest, most focused, most engulfing expression. At a different price-point than your everyday red, it is, for the money, as intense and as perfect as any wine you can find under the $40 mark. It drinks miles above all too many scratching at the $100-plus ceiling. Drink it now for intensity; hold it for five years for complexity; and put it away for 10 to experience real Syrah's longevity. A young producer, who in time will stand among the greats. - PJ Code: W02261
