expressive and balanced red

I like the touch of minerality that surfaces on the finish and if this can develop additional depth in bottle

It shows off focus and freshness more than jammy richness

this is really quite good but it’s simply not at the same level as other grands crus

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.
