Tardieu-Laurent, Cornas "Vieilles Vignes" 2001

Deep red, some rust.

Smoke, wilted greens, bacon/breakfast sausage, oak spice, ketchup nose. Killer. Iron shows late.

Round and full in the mouth. Middle-weight, flavors mirroring nose. Extremely long finish. Acid/tannin synergy starts to clamp down late, but does not kill flow. Smoky/herb/sausage flavors just keep going.
