Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2008
Red
Cornas, France
7.1
WineSaint
Dark fruit, black olive and licorice emerge with gorgeous intensity. Sweet cherry and violet notes flow with remarkable precision across a suave, medium-bodied frame. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight. Impressive finishing length. Drinking beautifully now but built for cellaring.
