Franck Balthazar, Cornas Casimir other_regions_italy As the description suggests this

As the description suggests this is much less rustic than usual though not as fine as most of the following 1ers

A discreet touch of wood frames spicy and ripe yet reasonably cool aromas of dark raspberry

Best from 2025 through 2043

with tons of depth

Good stuff here

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Casimir other_regions_italy As the description suggests thisReally lovely, easy going aromatic expression, it has the hot sand, mineral signature of Cornas without excess oak or ripeness. A menthol note brings further interest. It's only medium bodied, but has great freshness and definition. Perfectly balanced, with a grippy, chewy finish. A very fine, naturalistic expression of Cornas that's very rewarding to drink. With only light extraction its so drinkable. I would drink it young, but there's no hurry to.
