Domaine Lionnet
Terre Brûlée Cornas Syrah
I'd say this leans on the more delicate side of Cornas, if there is such a thing. Firm and tannic, but there's a finesse here that seems to contrast a bit from the typical brute force of a lot of stuff from Cornas.

Aug 20th, 2017Lovely cornas, not too pricey. Lovely berries in the nose but not jammy at all. Great structure and finishes with good depth of tannins.

Feb 23rd, 2020Early days for this wine, and showing very impressive stuffing. Doninated by heady floral aromatics and lavender along with tart dark fruit, exotic spices, eucalyptus, a hint of leather. The fruit is super transparent and very well balanced. Both complex and refreshing. Great!
