Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2014

Cornas, France
8.0
WineSaint
Sappy black fruit and licorice pour across the palate with serious concentration. Floral lift and baking spice add complexity to the dark core. Mineral precision cuts through the richness, while firm tannins grip the exceptionally long finish. Balthazar's old-school methods deliver impressive power.
