Domaine Courbis, Cornas "La Sabarotte" 2003

Purple, red rim.

Vinturi - absolutely loaded nose - think reduction sauce, only fresh. Deep, spicy, fig/date, earth.

Massively concentrated, with huge mid-palate fig/date flavor riding a monster wave of tannin. Unlike many other '03 northern Rhones, this shows no flavor gap. This is monster wine that works. TFK and absolutely thrilling action.
