Dom. Mucyn 2018 Cornas "Hypsos"
Our first importation of this, or indeed any, Cornas, we were moved to action by the authentically broad-shouldered expression of this insider’s cru. Syrah grown at 300 meters in granitic soils flecked with mica, and aged in barriques of two and three years, it is an impressively powerful yet focused wine, with many, many years ahead of it.
