2013 Top 100 - Rank # 57 The 2010 Cornas from Johann Michel is very impressive, the fruit is dense and concentrated with notes of dark cherries and blueberries followed by piecrust, roasted coffee, black olives, earthy minerals and pepper crusted cured meats. It is forward and ripe, but has an old-world primal edge. The texture is rich and polished leading up to the long mouth-coating finish. Amazing now, but there also looks to be a bright future for those interested in cellaring it. This was aged on the lees for 12-18 months in barrels (2 to 4 year old).
