Bright medium ruby. Knockout nose combines blueberry, blackberry, black olive, bitter chocolate, pepper and sauvage suggestions of game and leather; does this smell like Cornas or what? Cool minerally, flinty, black fruit flavors offer terrific concentration and thrust. Dense and strong in extract; thick but sappy. Finishes with big, broad, fine tannins and superb peppery persistence. Time-capsule Cornas, and likely to be long-lived.
