Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir other_regions_italy The 2006 Barolos are nothing

The 2006 Barolos are nothing short of spectacular and the 2007s may be even better

The cherry and plum flavors are buried in a dense matrix of tannins

surprising elegance

almost iron-like note on the palate

as Voerzio chose this furnace-like vintage for the debut of this new riserva

Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir other_regions_italy The 2006 Barolos are nothingThere are only about 700 bottles of Robert's 2017 Cornas Pur Noir, so if this is your jam, you better move quickly to secure some. Smoke and vanilla frame huge blackberry and cassis fruit on the nose, while the full bodied palate is velvety while remaining fresh and lively. Yes, this is a tannic wine, but the tannins are fully ripe, and the wine isn't unapproachable, even now. It should drink well for up to 15 years or so.
