Paul Jaboulet Aine, Cornas St Pierre Vintage:2023 refined and lacy medium weightStill 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.
