Morten believes this is slightly marked by VA. Very hard, tannic albeit also with a display of Cornas character. Although this comes a bit together with air, there’s a question mark on this one. CP believes it needs longer cellaring than the 2010. Granit 60 tasting chez Lillelund.

Near opaque; warm leather & briary fruit on powerful nose; full throttle palate, black fruits & plentiful tannins. Very long indeed. Will hold well for 5+ years.

Apparently World Cassoulet Day is a thing. Ths wine is a perfectly nice choice for it. It shows more tension than the 07 but a little more richness than the 10. Well-balanced, and with some wild Syrah aromatics. Nothing tertiary, and still a bit tannic, but open and well-integrated with a 60 minute decant.

Seems a wee bit heated, first wine of the lot that is out of balance might come together. Much, much better on day 2.

Really nice and mellow Cornas, in a nice spot right now. Still a nice grip. I wouldn’t wait any longer.
