The 2005 Cornas Cuvee Jana a Cornas is superb. Dense ruby/purple-colored to the rim, with a sweet nose of blackberries, incense, camphor, and a touch of pain grille, the wine has medium to full body, good acidity, moderately high but sweet tannin, and a fleshy, long finish. It is a stylish, modern-styled Cornas to drink over the next 10-12 years.
