Cuilleron Cuilleron Cornas Le Village 2022 750ml

Earthy notes of humus and cumin infuse a fragrant base of red fruit, spices, smoked potpourri and lavender. Medium-bodied, with good energy and softened, almost plush tannins. Shows firming, smoldering iron behind the scenes, which brings form and a kick of bitterness to the finish. A lighter-bodied, elegant style. Drink now through 2038. 32 cases imported.

The 2022 Cornas Le Village outperforms the 2021 I tasted last year, opening with intense notes of licorice, ripe black plum, cured meat and a touch of cedar. Medium- to full-bodied and refined, the 2022 is a classic, structured Cornas that's going to need at least two more years in a cool cellar to start showing its full potential.<br/><br/>
