Domaine Durand (Eric & Joel Durand)
Prémices Cornas Syrah
Delicious bargain-basement Cornas. Intense granitic minerality, overlaying some classic beef blood and dark blackberry scents. Rich in the mouth, with a nice balance of savory minerality and fruit. Nice acidity and integrated tannins. Good length.
