Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2013
Red
Cornas, France
8.0
WineSaint
Inky and mineral-driven with wild blackberry, crushed violets and smoky earth. The palate shows impressive concentration. Dark fruit layered with baking spices and floral complexity. Firm but ripe tannins provide structure without overwhelming the wine's natural elegance. Built for the cellar.
