Franck Balthazar, Cornas Casimir other_regions_italy Composed of 86% Cabernet SauvignonReally lovely, easy going aromatic expression, it has the hot sand, mineral signature of Cornas without excess oak or ripeness. A menthol note brings further interest. It's only medium bodied, but has great freshness and definition. Perfectly balanced, with a grippy, chewy finish. A very fine, naturalistic expression of Cornas that's very rewarding to drink. With only light extraction its so drinkable. I would drink it young, but there's no hurry to.
