Tasting notes
Brilliant violet. A complex bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits and floral pastilles, along with licorice, cracked pepper and olive accents. Fleshy and energetic in the mouth, offering intense boysenberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors supported by a spine of zesty acidity. Rich yet surprisingly lively in style. Finishes gently sweet and very long, revealing slow-building tannins and a late jolt of cracked pepper.

The 2015 Cornas offers a high-toned style in its plum, violet, white pepper and incense aromatics. This gives way to a ripe, textured, sweetly fruited Cornas that has a touch of dry tannin, yet impressive depth of fruit and a good finish. Give bottles a year or two, then drink through 2027.
