2019 Domaine Lionnet 'Terre Brulee' Cornas new L/I - 92 pt VINOUSFrom: Cornas, northern Rhne Valley, France Varietal: Syrah Taste: In the glass, the wine is deep, opaque purple with a deep garnet rim. The nose opens with intense aromatics of blackberry compote, crushed black olives, and violets, followed by notes of iron, smoked meat, and freshly cracked pepper. On the palate, the wine is dense and coiled, with flavors of blackcurrant, blueberry skin, and tapenade layered over a mineral spine. Pairing: This Syrahs
