expressive and balanced red

this is really quite good but it’s simply not at the same level as other grands crus

recent vintages of this cuvée have confirmed its status as one of Bordeaux's finest second labels (though since it derives from dedicated holdings below Berliquet

Les Quartz and the Cuvee Reserve) in any vintage

It has fragrant aromatics of flowers

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Cornas St Pierre Size:6x750ml expressive and balanced redStill in barrel, the 2023 Cornas Domaine De Saint Pierre has that classic, exotic, floral, orange like character that's common in the vintage as well as a deep purple hue, ample cassis and darker cherry fruits, nicely integrated oak, and textbook Cornas iron, leather, and pepper nuances. It's a concentrated, powerful effort that will need short term cellaring.
