Domain Auguste Cotes du Rhone 100% Syrah 2007 4 BOTTLES AVAILABLE. The deep blue/purple-hued 2007 Cotes du Rhone exhibits aromas of scorched earth, blackberries, and meaty, animal-like notes. Fleshy and succulent with sweet, ripe tannin, it will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 4-5 years. Drink: 2009 - 2017 89 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 182 Apr 2009 The master of Cornas, this estate continues to fashion a beautiful array of wines. With his son, Pierre-Marie, in charge, Auguste Clape enjoys a well-deserved retirement. In addition to outstanding Cornas, Clape also produces a very good Cotes du Rhone and Vin de Pays, both made from fruit grown just outside the Cornas appellation. 2007 is a slightly lighter vintage in Cornas than 2006, but the sweetness of the tannins, and the precociousness of the wines make the 2007 Cornas much more approachable than usual.
