Cornas “Terres Brûlées” 2017 95 EC WE Jun20

EDITOR’S CHOICE; Appropriate to this wine’s name, a vein of singed earth trails from nose to finish, mingling into delicate notes of vanilla, anise and black pepper. Penetrating flavors of preserved black cherry and plum are plump but fresh, edged by lifted acidity and fine, persistent tannins… it can be enjoyed now through 2035. – A.I.
