Domaine Coursodon 2007 L'Olivaie Syrah (Saint-Joseph)
-
$45
Fragrant, complex nose of bright cherry jam, wild strawberry, sour plum, hints of juniper, fresh black pepper, vanilla and a savory, earthy minerality. Full-bodied and concentrated with layers of ripe black fruit, black olives, soft leather. Smooth, rich with firm, taut tannins and a persistent freshness that prevails on the long savory finish.

A bit horsey and Brett-ridden, but it still shows a round mouthfeel and supple texture. Drink now.

Domaine Coursodon 2005 Marsanne (Saint-Joseph)
-
$28
Has that sort of glue or paste-like note that Marsanne sometimes shows, but it’s also fresh and light on the palate, with decent concentration and an attractive anise or fennel note on the finish.

Dominated by horse blanket aromas. Modest cherry fruit turns metallic and thin on the finish.

Like the other Coursodon bottlings, this is marred by brettanomyces. There’s some decent cherry fruit, but the wine is dominated by horse-blanket aromas.
