2010 Cornas, La Geynale, Domaine Vincent Paris, Rhône Large Formats Intimations cede to certainties on

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

it’s a reminder of how good Bordeaux can be…

linseed oil

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

this dram is a delightful treat for a cosy winter’s eve

2010 Cornas, La Geynale, Domaine Vincent Paris, Rhône Large Formats Intimations cede to certainties onLa 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.
