M Chapoutier, Cornas Les Arenes 2019

"Crushed stone, dried herbs, red plums and black cherries appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich, concentrated and dense. It's an exceptional vintage for this cuvée, finishing long and softly dusty." - Wine Advocate

"So much smoked-bacon character and dusty earthiness make this a striking Cornas, but behind these figures on the stage hangs a curtain of ripe blackberry fruit. Plenty of power and quite a dense tannin base on the palate, but the finish is only moderately dry and this impressive red is already drinkable." - James Suckling
