The superb, dense purple-colored 2007 Cornas Vieilles Vignes exhibits aromas of incense, blackberries, scorched earth, and roasted meats. This long, full-bodied, savage, but civilized offering possesses layers of concentration, superb purity, and a long, tannic finish. It should turn out to be one of the top wines of the vintage in this appellation. Moreover, it will last 15-20 years where well-stored. (Not yet released) With the brilliant oenologist, Albert Mazoyers, in charge of winemaking for Alain Voge, who is now in quasi-retirement, these wines have gotten stronger and more consistent over recent vintages. Voge is fashioning the finest dry white of St.-Peray. In some vintages, Voge produces a luxury Cornas cuvee called Les Vieilles Fontaines, but that wine was not produced in 2007. Voge is now producing some attractive, consumer-friendly St.-Joseph. Importer: No known American importer

Fairly ambitious wine with intense lifted, black fruit aromas, licorice, spice and black tea. Quite front-loaded on the palate with intense juicy blackberry-cherry fruit. Full-bodied, crisp, slight granular texture and crunchy tannins. Alcohol generous but not intrusive allowing fruit to come through on the finish. ——W.E.(10/15/2010)—— 86
