Alain Verset, Cornas Size:12x750mlNA

Part of the wine matured in 20

Even more impressive is the fulsome nose of iris

It exhibits a dense ruby/plum/purple color

The wine was vinified using 60% whole cluster and aged for around 22 months in 50% new French oak barrique and 50% used French barrique

257 bottles

Kimsey vineyard (Ballard Canyon) and Harrison-Clarke vineyard (Ballard Canyon)

scorched earth and graphite add to a sense of gravitas as this dark

You can drink now with 1-2 hours of air

earthy black fruit with good acidity

elegant Harlan Estate that really captures the essence of the year

detailed and admirably long finale

the 1999 has a linearity that appeals at 19-years of age
