WTN: 2004 Thierry Allemand Cornas Sans Soufre

Spectacular. An unbelievable fragrance combining all sorts of exotic musky, lavender, floral, meaty and peppery scents, but with far more intensity and the floral/peppery elements much more dominant than I've found in Allemand's other bottlings. Kaleidoscopic in the mouth; constantly changing between incredibly pure expressions of Syrah fruit and more meaty, savoury and floral flavours, and all conveyed with a degree of purity and elegance I've rarely ever encountered in wine. I just hope my other bottle shows similarly.

Interesting. '04 has been relatively open/fragrant as a vintage from my limited tasting.

Where are you finding back vintage sans soufre? Would seem a risky bet failing assurance of pristine provenance.
