A & E Verset Signature Cornas 2022

Full Product Description (From the manufacturer)

This barrel selections Cornas from the famed La Geynale vineyard has an expressive, complex nose of black fruits, followed by vegetal, smoky, meaty and floral notes with a hint of eucalyptus. Elegant, voluminous palate supported by a very nice tension, with marked tannins and nice length. Dark and brooding, the 2022 Cornas Signature Verset showcases pronounced ripe dark fruits, pencil shavings, cedar, crushed rocks and a touch of cured meat. Full-bodied and concentrated, the 2022 is built like a brick wall, clearly necessitating extended bottle aging to fully come together. A persistently savory, powerful finish wraps it up. Winey and rich, with a ripe profile to its pepper-dusted plum, red currant and dried lavender notes, built upon a smoldering foundation of graphite. Density continues to build toward the robust finish, held with ripe tannins that still hold a tight grip. Cedar smoke and salt are nicely woven into the backdrop. Best from 2027 through 2040. 50 cases imported.
