Once again

which hangs on with very good tenacity and echoing floral character

plum and wet stone hints complements well the rich

The caressing and strikingly well detailed middle weight flavors are impressively rich yet precise and this too evidences plenty of minerality on the powerful

this is really quite forward and while it should hold for many years at this level

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Casimir other_regions Once againReally lovely, easy going aromatic expression, it has the hot sand, mineral signature of Cornas without excess oak or ripeness. A menthol note brings further interest. It's only medium bodied, but has great freshness and definition. Perfectly balanced, with a grippy, chewy finish. A very fine, naturalistic expression of Cornas that's very rewarding to drink. With only light extraction its so drinkable. I would drink it young, but there's no hurry to.
