Wine Spectator, 93 Points 

"Lush and round, with meaty overtones racing alongside an appealing well of ripe plum and black raspberry flavors. Reveals graphite shavings that carry the supple palate through the well-crafted finish." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 90-92 Points 

"The 2021 Cornas Empreintes is terrific and certainly a great success in the vintage. Ripe blackberries, black cherries, peppery herbs, spice, and some meatiness define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with good concentration, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It plays in the fresher, elegant style of the vintage but brings plenty of fruit and texture."
