Thierry Allemand Cornas "R" 2022 [NET]

One of the vintage's most thrilling Cornas expressions, this Reynard-vineyard bottling shows the silken power only Thierry Allemand can coax from Syrah. Aromas of Damson plums, black raspberries, and Amarena cherries flood the nose before a breathtaking finish that dances across the palate with grace and refinement. One hundred percent whole-cluster fermented using carbonic maceration, then matured in large oak—giant concentration married with refined elegance, a masterpiece of restraint and structure.
