Refreshing on the palate

Terrific and worth a special search to find though be aware that this youthfully austere effort will required extended cellaring

with excellent length

a wine that ultimately is produced only about once every four years or so

Clapes 2005 Cornas sports a still youthful ruby color to go with lots of crushed rock-like minerality
