The 2004 Cornas Coteaux has a deep ruby/purple color and a big, sweet nose of creamy oak and black fruits as well as a hint of flowers. In the mouth, the rustic tannins and sharp acids again recall a lighter weight 1996. This wine needs 2-3 years of cellaring and should drink gracefully for 10-12 years.
