Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas 2021

The 2021 Cornas is classic rendition from Clape, which reveals vibrant aromas of blackberries, cherries, and ripe plums, mingling with notes of crushed violets, black olives and cracked pepper that all come together beautifully in the glass. On the palate, it possesses a medium/full-bodied and fantastic structure, with firm, grippy tannins that are nicely integrated. Flavors of dark raspberries, violets, licorice, and savory spices unfold in layers, balanced by a vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh. The finish is long and complex, with notes of black pepper, violets, and black olives all leaving a lasting impression. The 2021 is a thrilling wine that is gorgeous today, but also promises to evolve beautifully over time.
