Note di degustazione
Inky violet color. Pungent, mineral-tinged aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, candied flowers and olive paste turn spicier as the wine stretches out. Densely packed and expansive on the palate, offering bitter cherry, blackberry, fruitcake and espresso flavors that slowly turn sweeter on the back half. Tightens up on the impressively long, penetrating finish, which features chewy tannins and an echo of dark berry preserves.

The 2019 Cornas Vin Noir comes from three separate parcels (the Pur Noir is from a single lieu-dit), and they look for more concentration and structure in this cuvée. A rich, meaty beast of a wine, it has some classic black fruits, subtle smoke, scorched earth, and graphite notes as well as full-bodied richness on the palate. Fermented with 40% stems, it has terrific fruit and balance, but enough structure to warrant 3-4 years of bottle age. As with most truly great Cornas, it will drink well for over two decades.
A complex, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, cherry liqueur, potpourri and olive, along with a spicy quality that builds with air. Displays impressive energy and focus to the deep-pitched black/blue fruit and floral pastille flavors courtesy of a core of minerality that builds in the glass. Finishes appealingly sweet and very long, with building tannins and lingering floral and mineral notes.
