2020 Thierry Allemand, Cornas, Reynard 1x750ml

Vinous 97

The 2020 Cornas Reynard is spectacular. Loaded with pristine graphite, cassis pastilles, crushed rocks and black plum notes, it also boasts fleshy layers and stemmy gradations. Framed by polished tannins, the 2020 is an authoritarian, cinemascope-sized Cornas standing alone at the very top of the appellation s quality hierarchy. Kept in check by stunning freshness, the concentrated 2020 terminates with persistence and style on the layered, savory finish. This is brilliance in the glass. [Nicolas Greinacher, 01/01/2025]
