Domaine du Tunnel Cornas 2019 (3L) Codru

Domaine du Tunnel Cornas 2019 (3L) CodruThis is really packed, offering dense waves of cassis, plum compote and blackberry reduction flavors that stay well defined as they rumble through, with ample cast iron, sweet tapenade, lavender and bay leaf accents. Theres loads of grip on the back end, but its well integrated, so just let this unwind in the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2038. 1,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.

It engages the palete with bold tannins and balances gracefully with blackberry compote

Alain Graillot has 20 hectares in the Crozes-Hermitage

This wine excels with aromas and flavors of sweet earth

concentrated core of sweet tannins

The nose offers notes of brioche and yellow peach

and Kessler-Haak

where blackberry-jam

In Villalba

yet cuts a swath across the palate with zippy tangelo

and fruit without any green tannins

all wrapped by fine-grained tannins and supportive oak
