Delicious. Savory, herbal, olive tapenade, blackberry. Viscous. Complex. A wine to contemplate.

Alright, non-drinking-friendly ap. here is version 2: Dark Fig, Apple-cinnamon-plum and tobacco, complex mud. Middle road mouthfeel opens a big door of pepper in a surprise move that really is an amazing turn. Balanced, velvety texture that sings with Northern Rhone specificity! Beautiful wine with depth and range! #Cornas #northernRhoneWines #RhoneWine #DomaineDurand #Empreintes

Still quite a big fella. Hasn’t even opened up yet. Plum with a back end little hint of coffee.
