Big fruit great balance. Grapes. Drinking great but still feels like it could go a bit longer

Wow. The woman at the winery warned me that this wine is very ripe and young, and usually would not be suitable for drinking for another 4.5 years. I can see what she means. Huge, ripe blueberry fruit dominates the usual Cornas terroir of lead, granite, thyme and crushed flowers, making for a delicious treat, albeit obviously a baby meant to be brought up properly over the next half decade. Buy and cellar if you can.
