Earthy and herbal touches to the nose, with blackberries and cured meats in the background. Medium-bodied, quite a fluid style, there's plenty of savoury black fruits and a dry, textural finish. Open and ready for business already, and authentically Cornas. I would drink this young, but it won't fall apart any time soon.
