Focused, with density and substance, but this Cornas remains graceful in texture and character. On the nose it shows cherries, spiced plums, dried flowers, crushed stones and baking spices. It has a peppery palate and vivid tension. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. So stony, bringing tension and a vertical dimension. Savory and vibrant finish with more stone and black pepper energy. Drink or hold.
