Cornas Vieilles Vignes 2017

Wine Advocate

Bottled in June 2019. the 2017 Cornas Vieilles Vignes still seemed shut down when I tasted it. marked by cedary oak and mixed berry flavors. It's full-bodied and silky-textured. framed by surprisingly tart acids on the long. crisp finish. Worth noting is that this includes the fruit that normally goes into the les Vieilles Fontaines. as that wine was not bottled in 2017. Tasted twice (once blind). with consistent notes. (JC. 12/2019)
