Domaine Courbis : Les Eygats 2011

The 2011 Cornas Les Eygats from Domaine Courbis exhibits an almost black garnet-tinted dark red colour, with purple glints. The nose is very aromatic and fine on red berry fragrances, such as cherry, underpinned by more woody notes, testimony of ageing in wood barrels. On the palate, the 2011 Les Eygats is round and fleshy with notes of in alcohol soaked fruits, or even mild spices. The tannins are powerful yet well-integrated, and the finish is well-balanced with a very dynamic freshness.
