Stony and alkaline

A discreet hint of wood frames wonderfully fresh aromas of pear

highly perfumed aromas of ripe dark berries

dark pinot fruit and plenty of earth character

Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir other_regions_italy plums and licoriceThere are only about 700 bottles of Robert's 2017 Cornas Pur Noir, so if this is your jam, you better move quickly to secure some. Smoke and vanilla frame huge blackberry and cassis fruit on the nose, while the full bodied palate is velvety while remaining fresh and lively. Yes, this is a tannic wine, but the tannins are fully ripe, and the wine isn't unapproachable, even now. It should drink well for up to 15 years or so.
