Guillaume Gilles Cornas 2019

Red
Cornas, France

Dark and brooding, with crushing intensity from the inherited Robert Michel plantings. Blackberry, violet and graphite build powerfully, while smoky bacon and dark chocolate add layers of complexity. The structure is formidable yet polished, with ripe tannins supporting a penetrating, mineral-driven finish. Cellar-worthy but rewards decanting now.
