Opaque ruby. Bright and energetic on the highly perfumed, finely detailed nose, displaying fresh black and blue fruit, incense and floral scents that pick up olive and exotic spice accents as the wine gains air. In a vibrant, fruit-driven style, offering appealingly sweet cherry-cola, blackberry, mocha, botanical herb and allspice flavors, along with suggestions of licorice and smoky minerals. Finishes extremely long and smooth, with a whisper of fine-grained tannins and an assertive echo of minerality.
The 2020 Crozes-Hermitage Clos Les Cornirets is terrific, with beautiful darker blackberry and black cherry fruit as well as spicy, peppery, floral nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It can be drunk any time over the coming 10-12+ years and is well worth seeking out.
