Philippe Pacalet, Cornas 2017
Place: Northern Rhône, France
Grape: Syrah
Vibe: Natural, richer
The fruit here comes from higher up the slope, a good thing, especially in 2018. A Cornas of supreme balance. Full-fruited and ripe but not lost for definition and mineral intent. I should be keeping these all to myself, but I am worryingly generous. If you place value on texture, complexity and moreish spice then run, don't walk. Syrah of the highest order, god I'm into good Cornas. ABV: 13%
