M Chapoutier, Cornas Collection Bio 2017

Very dark, complex and showing slight reduction. One finds notes of wild, ripe black fruit. This is followed by notes of graphite, carbon and soot. Massive attack on entry to the palate with fine, tight tannins and lovely mineral tension. One has the overall impression of volume, fullness on the palate, with structure, meat and chewiness. This is an elegant, powerful Cornas with a great deal of balance and finesse.
