Re: TN: 2011 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas (France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas)
Your note almost directly mirrors my thoughts on the Voge Chailles from a couple months ago :) So it really didn't matter, eh?

I don't own a lot of Cornas, I have enough good stuff to scratch the itch when it calls.

2013 Remi Leroy BdB last night was just terrific. FM has an excellent (and only) note in CT that captures it well. Edgy, fresh, lemon-green apple but a terrific brioche-round-sweetness comes on with air and really fills it out.
Glad to have more.
