Domaine Mucyn Aquilon Cornas 2017

Profoundly ripe, spicy cassis on the nose and palate are accentuated by bold strikes of licorice, violet and bramble in this rich, complex Syrah. Moderately full in body, it’s luscious but freshly balanced, held upright by a crisp acidic backbone and firm, gripping tannins. Delightful already, it will improve through 2035. Score – 95.
