Aye, Frank Cornelissen wines are not my cup (glass?) of tea (wine?). But I really wanted to give this bottle a chance. After all, two years have passed since I tried the 2017 vintage. So it could become better. And you know what? Time and decanter are truly miraculous. Lots of flowers like hibiscus and marigold. Boot sole, gouache, blueberry and VA. Despite being well balanced, it’s still aggressive, concentrated and pushy. It definitely lacks elegance. At least it has some complexity. Overall, it’s not my style, but I understand why people like this.
Wine #5 on volcanic wines tasting by Oleksandr Meier.
