Domaine Lionnet Cornas Terre Brulee, Rhone, France 2020 Schmitt Sohne Dense and very sweet onSimilarly deep purple hued, the 2020 Cornas Terre Brulee has a darker, slightly richer, yet less complex style that also warrants bottle age. Offering more black fruits, scorched earth, burning embers, and ground pepper, it packs serious depth and power on the palate and is full bodied, has lots of tannins, and a great finish. It's brilliant, but don't think about opening bottles for at least 5 6 years. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
