Johann Michel, Cornas Mere Michel other_regions_australia The markedly cool but ripe

The markedly cool but ripe aromas of cassis

while the fruit retains some freshness

with a lively spine of acidity and delicately phenolic back-end grip

which delivered very powerful and warm wines with high alcohol levels

As with the Quartiers de Nuits

Johann Michel, Cornas Mere Michel other_regions_australia The markedly cool but ripeShades of crushed granite, cacao and leather lend earthen, savory complexities to this gorgeously raw, rustic Cornas. Black plum and cherry flavors are ripe and concentrated, edged by firm, fiery tannins. It needs a bit of time to soften and meld but should improve well through 2037. Anna Lee C. Iijima
