expressive and balanced red

There is just enough wood present to remark upon setting off the penetrating nose of petrol

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Cornas St Pierre Size:6x750ml expressive and balanced redStill in barrel, the 2023 Cornas Domaine De Saint Pierre has that classic, exotic, floral, orange like character that's common in the vintage as well as a deep purple hue, ample cassis and darker cherry fruits, nicely integrated oak, and textbook Cornas iron, leather, and pepper nuances. It's a concentrated, powerful effort that will need short term cellaring.
