2005 Cornas Les Terrases du Serre

The opaque purple-colored 2005 Cornas Les Terrasses du Serre is full-bodied, powerful, with a smell of graphite, pen ink, blackberry, licorice, and a bit of scorched earth. It is dense, rich, with sweet tannins, good acidity, and a very long finish. The wine will need 2-3 years of bottle age and should keep for 10-15+ years. Importer: J. A. O. Wine, McLean, VA.
