Note di degustazione
Saturated ruby. Black and blue fruits, licorice, pungent flowers, smoked meat and Moroccan spices on the highly perfumed nose. Chewy and broad on the palate, offering bitter cherry, cassis and fruitcake flavors that firm up and turn spicier through the back half. Smoothly blends depth and energy and finishes very long and spicy, with steadily building tannins and resonating dark berry and spice notes.

This inky pre-bottling sample of Dumien-Serette's 2019 Cornas Patou is certainly impressive. Plummy, cassis-laden aromas lead the way accompanied by hints of wild herbs and crushed stone. Full-bodied, concentrated, tannic and even a little austere, it will require cellaring but should be a beauty in about five years' time.
Coming from pure granite soils of the Patou lieu-dit, the 2019 Cornas Patou is another brilliant wine in the making from this small family estate. Revealing a dense purple hue as well as awesome black and blue fruits, ground pepper, beef blood, and spring flower-like aromatics, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, building yet ripe tannins, and a monster of a finish. It might need a decade to hit maturity, but it’s a phenomenal Cornas that will evolve for 20-30 years.
