Well done Cornas in a vintage year that suffers by comparison to 1996. True classic French style winemaking at work here.
Sophisticated aromas are earthy and ancient, giving way to ripe red fruit and florals.
A personal favorite producer of Crozes-Hermitage, and this particular vintage is very good. Loads of body, with a mineral note threaded through the Syrah berry and spice. Stands up quite well to hearty foods. Bright red fruit, herbal notes, touches of game and spice, we just cannot say enough about this wine, and we're not alone. Should be hitting the shelves soon, so watch for it and snatch some up before it's all gone.
