Domaine du Tunnel Cornas Pur Noir 2015 (750ML)

97 WA / 96-99 JD

The 2015 Cornas Pur Noir rivals Clape’s Cornas for wine of the vintage from that appellation. Extraordinarily rich and complex, it offers hints of grilled red plums, roasted meat and mocha, enormous concentration and masses of ripe tannins. Yet despite the power, there’s a sense of elegance to this, and the dark fruit flavors come through on the lengthy finish. It’s a terrific effort and relatively affordable if you can find it. The price at the caveau when I visited was 80 euros. - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate

One of the wines of the vintage is certainly the 2015 Cornas Pur Noir. In a similar style to the Vin Noir, yet with a touch more plushness and texture, this killer wine offers layers of black raspberries, blueberries, crushed rocks, crushed violets and licorice in its profound, pure and incredibly concentrated, yet seamless personality.
