2020 Cornas Nouvelle R Les Rieux

Dark magenta. Expressive aromas of black raspberry and cherry preserves, lavender and Moroccan spices are complemented by a smoky mineral top note. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering incisive red and dark berry, cola and floral pastille flavors, with suggestions of licorice and allspice. At once powerful and graceful in style, finishing with superb persistence and slowly emerging, polished tannins.
