fine-grain tannin and immense detail on the finish

The 2007 vintage was one of the best of the decade

and Mediterranean herbs that turns more floral and violet-laced with air

Intimations cede to certainties on the palate as encyclopaedic flavours defer to the reputations of vintage and House alike

Still lots of tannin and not fully resolved into a bundle of tertiary flavours

2010 Cornas, La Geynale, Domaine Vincent Paris, Rhône Large Formats fine-grain tannin and immense detailLa Geynale is a four hectare south facing vineyard perched immediately above the village and made up of soils of granite and crumbled loess. Robert Michel has now retired and Vincent is now stamping his identity on the wine, to outstanding effect here! Dark, dark fruit, a massive block of tannin and dark savoury fruit lurking beneath. One of my favourite wines of the entire week spent in the North.
