Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir Vintage:2017 Bursting with aromas of mirabelle

Bursting with aromas of mirabelle plum

There is fine richness to the sleek and concentrated medium weight plus flavors that exude a more subtle bead of minerality on the muscular and youthfully austere finish where a touch of bitter cherry arises

The mouth feel is beautifully refined and even silky with the outstanding complexity

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

Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir Vintage:2017 Bursting with aromas of mirabelleThere 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.
