Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2010

Cornas, France
8.0
WineSaint
Inky dark fruit and crushed herbs flow with impressive weight and focus. There's serious mineral tension here that lifts the concentrated black cherry and spice. Firm, ripe tannins provide backbone without dominating. Classic Cornas power wrapped in surprising elegance.
