點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：5855

The most concentrated, seriously structured, backward cuvee is the 2007 Cornas Billes Noires. Displaying enormous potential, it offers an opaque purple color along with a perfume of graphite, pen ink, blackberries, bouquet garni, and roasted meats. This enormously-endowed, full-bodied, dense, chewy wine should evolve for 15 or more years. (Not yet released) Proprietor Matthieu Barret is another member of Cornas’ younger generation of producers who have embraced the use of smaller barrels as well as more sanitary vinification techniques. The results are wines imbued with good purity, sweeter tannins, appellation typicity, and more approachable styles that retain 15 or more years of aging potential.

This moves between racy and muscular, with very invigorating acidity carrying the dark briar, tobacco, pastis and crushed plum flavors. Long and driven, with nearly crackling minerality stretching it all out, as hints of lavender, rosemary and iron echo on and on. Best from 2010 through 2020. 383 cases made.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Cornas Select to Add
