Ruby in color, mostly clear and bright with some purple swirls. The nose has black raspberries, black cherries, roasted meats and slight black pepper. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Good balance. On the palate, this seems open and ready to go. Black cherries, some black raspberries with minerality and some char. Nice finish. A nice middleweight Cornas that is nice on its own but better with food. A good match would be Indian cuisine. Drink over the next five to eight years.
