Domaine du Tunnel Cornas wine is a richly expressive blend emanating from the Cornas region in France, renowned for its superb quality wines. This particular vinous gem possesses a splendid mix of intense, dark fruits with a hint of spice, belaying its time spent in oak barrels. A reserve offering a rounded structure with formidable tannins, it's unmissable for its complex layers of flavours. Full-bodied and generous, this wine is harmoniously balanced, epitomising the classic Northern Rhone Syrah. It demands longevity, improving over years of cellar-ageing. Exquisite with robust meats, it's a stellar accompaniment to an epicurean feast.

Tasting Notes

The Cornas has a very deep ruby colour with violet hues. The nose shows aromas of cherry and raspberry with a touch of pepper. On the palate, the tannins are smooth but structured with flavours of roasted nuts and pepper complementing the dark fruit on the finish.
