Alain Voge, Cornas Chailles

Alain Voge, Cornas ChaillesOpaque ruby. Vibrant and sharply focused on the nose, displaying intense dark berry and floral scents complicated by suggestions of olive, pungent flowers and smoky minerals. Juicy, concentrated and gently sweet, offering sappy cherry and black currant flavors that become more lively and spicy with air. Shows excellent power and spicy thrust on an impressively long, youthfully tannic finish, leaving notes of dark berry liqueur and allspice behind.

well-balanced and beautifully persistent finish

supported by firm

intense and moderately structured finish

Will last decades due to its perfect balance

The palate mixes that chalky minerality with the juiciness of the Garnacha

very compact

dark chocolate and hints of rose petal

Scents of dried cherry

This is a far cry from the old-school style of Troplong Mondot from a few years back

Giving up fabulous black raspberry

It is a tour de force

This is a pleasure just to smell
