Domaine Lionnet
Terre Brûlée Cornas Syrah
Huge black fruit with musty earthiness. Impossible white pepper/pine wood infestation on the nose. Herbaceous rosemary flavor on the palate. The palate has a lengthy finish with nice neutral wood flavors. Goes on forever. Really nice, firmly tannic, could use a bit more time but drinking well now.
