Clape Cornas Cuvee Renaissance 2012 (750ML)

92 VM

Brilliant ruby. Blueberry, potpourri, smoky minerals and peppery spices on the seductively perfumed nose. Concentrated, bright and focused, offering sappy blue fruit, bitter cherry, licorice and dark chocolate flavors lifted by zesty acidity. Stains the palate but comes off lithe, with suave, floral-accented dark fruit flavors and mineral-driven intensity. Silky and broad on the finish, with fine-grained tannins firming the wine's juicy fruit. February, 2015. -Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
