Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2018
Red
Cornas, France
8.7
WineSaint
Inky cassis and blackberry surge with violet and exotic spice undertones. Formidable tannins demand patience while mineral-driven acidity provides backbone. The finish burns long with smoky intensity. A powerhouse built for the cellar. Drink 2025-2038.
