There is superb complexity and fantastic length and this mineral-driven effort should be capable of drinking well after only 12 years or so of bottle age but require a solid 20 before it’s completely mature

layered finish with lingering exotic spice and black berry preserves notes

cherry and leather notes

The 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc (magnum) explodes onto the palate with layers of raspberry jam

Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir Vintage:2017 There is superb complexity andThere are only about 700 bottles of Robert's 2017 Cornas Pur Noir, so if this is your jam, you better move quickly to secure some. Smoke and vanilla frame huge blackberry and cassis fruit on the nose, while the full bodied palate is velvety while remaining fresh and lively. Yes, this is a tannic wine, but the tannins are fully ripe, and the wine isn't unapproachable, even now. It should drink well for up to 15 years or so.
