Lightest of the three in a flight of ‘12 Cornas, but by no means lacking in weight and substance. Leads with purple floral tones that give way to brambly berries, olives, meat and iron. Fabulous

Elegant, accessible in a way that a lot traditional Cornas would not be at this age, but still feels very classic

Red & black fruits with black cherry standing out, smoked meat, spicy, medium weight, elegant, good balance of tannins and fruit. Great stuff!
