The 2000 Cornas Champelrose reveals toasty new oak in the nose, but that component is better integrated in the mouth. It also possesses dense black currant and cassis flavors with hints of minerals, pepper, and licorice in the background. This is a modern-styled Cornas to drink during its first decade of life.
