Domaine du Tunnel Cornas - 2019 (750ml) Sour Ale and is worth every effortOpaque ruby. Spice accented aromas of black raspberry, violet and licorice, with a hint of smoky bacon in the background. Concentrated yet energetic as well, offering intense dark berry, floral pastille and black pepper flavors; a bracing jolt of minerality adds back end cut. Fleshes out slowly and turns sweeter with air, showing excellent clarity and resonating florality on the long, gently tannic finish. Vinous 94 points
