20% cabernet sauvignon
it saturates the palate with ripe tannins
satiny palate that's concentrated and incisive
vinous and complex bouquet of strawberries and cherries
The tannins are well tumbled in their youth with a light gravelly character accompanied by a lingering dryness on the back of the palate
Domaine Lionnet Cornas Terre Brulee, Rhone, France 2020 Carema 20% cabernet sauvignonSimilarly deep purple hued, the 2020 Cornas Terre Brulee has a darker, slightly richer, yet less complex style that also warrants bottle age. Offering more black fruits, scorched earth, burning embers, and ground pepper, it packs serious depth and power on the palate and is full bodied, has lots of tannins, and a great finish. It's brilliant, but don't think about opening bottles for at least 5 6 years. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
