Best after 2008

who also runs the show at Château Latour

and tough tannin in the finish

I like the character here though as it’s frank and direct and the only nit is that the finish is somewhat short

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Cornas St Pierre other_regions Best after 2008Still in barrel, the 2023 Cornas Domaine De Saint Pierre has that classic, exotic, floral, orange like character that's common in the vintage as well as a deep purple hue, ample cassis and darker cherry fruits, nicely integrated oak, and textbook Cornas iron, leather, and pepper nuances. It's a concentrated, powerful effort that will need short term cellaring.
