As usual, the Delas Cornas is an elegant rendering of the appellation. The 2017 Cornas Chante Perdrix hints at violets and raspberries on the nose, then delivers more of the same on the medium to full-bodied palate. It's silky and fine in texture, not a big, meaty style, but it still delivers plenty of pleasure. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
