Glad to see the note on Gilles. I received that offer, too, but have stayed my hand.

Offer?

Yes, it's an email that says, "We have some X at Y price. Please buy it."

I was surprised how much fruit the 2013 Guillaume Gilles Cornas showed when I drank a bottle in late January. With air it turned more savory. Dee-licious. A 2007 I drank recently was simply outstanding.

In the days open so far, ‘13 Gilles is consistent with Zachary’s sense of development. More savory. A sturdy classic profile. I do prefer my Cornas a little more high toned than this in an ideal world but it’s good.

The 2016 Cotat CdB is holding steady. No early fireworks but handles air easily in the open bottle. I expect it will need about five years in the cellar to get to the start of its prime drinking window. My further thought on vintage comparison is it’s 2005ish, a fine vintage for this wine.
