  Beautiful floral/fruit nose , dark red, typical flavours of plumb, blueberry with a hint of coffee. A subtle sweetness lingers then fades into a touch of tannins on the back of the palate.
  As you finish the bottle this opens up and is more expressive in sweetness and complexity of flavours.
  Very enjoyable, approachable and balanced young Cornas. Love the fact it's only at 13.5 % alcohol.

  This was excellent after about 1 hour decant. Great structure, length and balance. Can’t expect much more from a well-priced Cornas

  Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined and refrigerated), note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with aromas of spice, black pepper, chocolate, cranberry, and garrigue. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium tannin, medium+ intensity, medium+ body, 13.5% abv with flavors of cranberry, black pepper, and garrigue with a medium+ finish. Overall a very good wine excelling in intensity, complexity, and length could use a little more fruit profile.

  Ripened blackcurrant, honey, fresh cut flowers, good tannin, acidic and structure. Surprisingly it is approachable with such a youthful yet powerful wine.
