This is a blockbuster Cornas. Very opaque purple-colored, with a sensational jammy blueberry/blackberry/cassis-scented nose intermixed with roasted meat and licorice aromas, this large-scaled, massive Cornas displays remarkable depth and balance. Still very youthful, this is one of the greatest Cornas I have ever tasted. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2015. Last tasted 6/96.
