Saturated purple-ruby. Superb, perfumed nose combines blackberry, gunflint, dark chocolate, black olive and spices, along with a whiff of meat; real essence of Cornas. Very concentrated and pure, with extravagant Cornas character and lovely inner-mouth aromatics. Round, full and dense; the dark berry flavors are perked up by olive and pepper notes that carry through to the very long finish. Tannins are ripe and chewy. A great showing today.
