Cave de Tain – Arènes Sauvages – 2017
Cornas

France,
Rhone Valley,
Inky black purple core and hue. Pure and floral expression with violet, lavender, raw meat, incense, blackberry, cassis and tar. Dense, muscular and concentrated palate with vigorous and ripe tannin adding freshness, layers of spicy dark fruit, a hint of oak and toast. Still youthful but well-assembled and harmonious with great length and potential.
