Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir Vintage:2017 cherry and leather notes

cherry and leather notes

There is fine richness to the sleek and concentrated medium weight plus flavors that exude a more subtle bead of minerality on the muscular and youthfully austere finish where a touch of bitter cherry arises

but neither weighty nor over the top as might be expected for a wine of such extreme richness

cedar and leather aromas come to the forefront along with whiffs of underbrush and blue flower

Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir Vintage:2017 cherry and leather notesThere are only about 700 bottles of Robert's 2017 Cornas Pur Noir, so if this is your jam, you better move quickly to secure some. Smoke and vanilla frame huge blackberry and cassis fruit on the nose, while the full bodied palate is velvety while remaining fresh and lively. Yes, this is a tannic wine, but the tannins are fully ripe, and the wine isn't unapproachable, even now. It should drink well for up to 15 years or so.
