2016 Cornas, Reynard, Thierry Allemand, Rhône

Description

Brilliant purple. Dark fruit, floral and spice qualities on the hugely perfumed, expansive nose, and suggestions of incense, olive and smoky minerals. It stains the palate with powerful, youthfully concentrated blueberry, cassis, spice cake, and violet pastille flavours that are given spine and lifted by a core of zesty acidity. Lingers with outstanding tenacity on the sharply delineated, floral-driven finish shaped by chewy, slow-building tannins.

Drink 2024 - 2035

About this wine

Cornas

Cornas

Cornas was established in 1938. Only reds are made, and solely from the Syrah grape; a contributing factor to their style is the granitic soil. The wines are made traditionally and often spend two years in oak. They are also strong and powerful – a cross between Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie – but typically display less finesse. After five to 10 years of ageing the best examples take on a more elegant and complex character.
