The deep purple-hued 2022 Cornas Confidence is similarly concentrated but offers more elegance and finesse in its texture and structure. Gorgeous cassis, graphite, roasted herbs, pepper, and floral aromatics all shine, and it's full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, integrated acidity, and a great finish.
