Domaine Courbis : La Sabarotte 2011

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Seeing the most new oak of the lineup and spending upwards of 18 months in 100% new French oak, the 2011 Cornas La Sabarotte is also the richest, most decadent, and concentrated of the three single vineyards. Exhibiting terrific aromas and flavors of black raspberry, licorice, roasted meats, barbecue and forest floor, this full-bodied 2011 has a blockbuster texture, no hard edges and ample underlying structure that's partially concealed by all of the fruit. It will have an easy 12-15 years of longevity and should not be missed!
