Raw and charismatic, with plenty of juicy blackberry fruit and some blood and iron to season the package. Drinking well already, although it's still plenty fresh at this stage.

Second bottle down and developing very nicely. Drank over two nights with a day in between. Quite full-bodied but by no means over powering., Has a lovely smooth velvety texture with great savoury fruit profile. The spice and pepper notes are there but really well integrated and not overpowering. Lovely wine with its best years ahead.

Tasting Ground official tasting, Cornas La Geynale, From Uncle to Nephew (Oinoscent): Bottles open 10.15 and tasted 14.00, no decant The wine is a monster but precise, clean, very youthful, more spice than fruit, clove, black pepper, ripe black fruit, fruit in alcohol (but not hot), elegant in all its strength. With time, the wine turns into black fruit galore plus licorice, elegant but huge, huge but elegant !! Palate is tight with juicy black fruit framed by oak, great tannic structure, huge density, highly concentrated wine, really youthful, long beautiful finish. This is for the marathon rather than the long run

这个酒涩劲十足,在N rhone里少见,需要醒3小时以上。我的这瓶有流出的迹象,状态可能有问题。颜色偏红而不是紫。喝起来像light的aglianico。没有Syrah的特征,一点都没有。

This benefited from double decanting. Dark, brooding but balanced. Will age well.
