Tardieu-Laurent, Cornas Vv Size:12x750ml (from recently replanted vines totalingInky purple. Explosive aromas of blackberry, violet, mocha, smoky minerals and licorice. Alluringly sweet and expansive in the mouth, with intense flavors of cherry cola, black and blue fruits and licorice. Voluptuous but surprisingly lithe and precise as well. Supple tannins give shape to the finish, which lingers with outstanding tenacity. This wine is absorbing its oak (100% new) very smoothly. Josh Raynolds
