earth and floral-suffused nose

Impressively concentrated but surprisingly lively thanks to its spine of smoky minerality

Give it an hour or 2 in the decanter

On the palate it shows a bit of the more rustic style of the 1970s

Alain Voge, Cornas Vv Size:6x750ml earth and floral-suffused noseInky violet color. Intensely perfumed aromas of ripe black blue fruits, exotic spices, potpourri and olive are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, offering alluringly sweet blueberry and cherry preserve flavors along with hints of licorice and candied flowers. The floral and spice qualities repeat emphatically on an impressively long, energetic finish that features well knit tannins and a resonating mineral note.
