More density and depth, as well as precision, emerge from the 2020 Cornas Empreintes, a smallerproduction cuvée from 30-year-old vines. Its deep purple hue is followed by a beautiful perfume of blackand blue fruits, bloody meat, pepper, and spring fl owers. I love its focus and length on the palate, andit's medium to full-bodied, with plenty of tannins, a great mid-palate, and a salty, bloody fi nish thatkeeps you coming back to the glass. It's a “wow” Cornas for sure.
