The 1996 Cornas Vieilles Vignes exhibits super-sweet blackberry fruit wrapped with earth, tar, and minerals. Full-bodied and classic in its flavor profile, this wine has a sweet attack, and noticeable but not obtrusive acidity. This rustic, flavorful, pure, expansive Cornas should drink well during its first decade of life. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (803) 497-8625
