Tasting notes
The 2021 Cornas Terre Brûlée is enjoyable, although it's a touch more foursquare and chunky compared to the Pur Granit. Solid darker cherries, roasted herbs, and loamy earth and peppery, meaty notes define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with solid mid-palate depth and outstanding length.

Youthful purple. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, star anise, olive, violet and tobacco. A smoky mineral accent builds steadily in the glass and energizes the spice-laced, dark berry liqueur, smoky bacon and floral pastille flavors that are underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Clings with strong tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, leaving behind sappy blue fruit, cracked pepper and mineral notes.
