Certainly there is no problem with the 2001 Cornas. It boasts a dense purple color in addition to sweet creme de cassis characteristics intermixed with notes of melted licorice, minerals, and flowers. While it reveals more acidity than many 2001s, it offers a pleasant tangy style loaded with intense, pure fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2013.No known American importer

Lemencier's 1999 Cornas reveals this vintage's variableness in this appellation. High in acidity and lacking depth and concentration, this medium-bodied, compressed 1999 is best drunk during its first 7-8 years of life.No known American importer.

In 1998, Lemencier, who uses no new oak, and destems 100% of his fruit, produced a significant effort. The 1998 Cornas's complex bouquet of earth, truffles, cassis, and underbrush is followed by a sweet, medium to full-bodied wine with low acidity, ripe tannin, and a complex, concentrated, velvety-textured finish. It should drink well for 10-12 years. No known American importer.
