It started out as a rather strict military man. Sa-tannic and good acidity keeping a laser focus.
It felt really young at the beginning of the dinner (after double decanting and 1 hr of rest) but more and more developed a Côte Rôtie character that finally disintegrated.
First two hours: 95p. Fourth hour: 90p. Cork: perfect condition.

Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service, decanted and slowly drank over 1.5 hour Bright, juicy, red and black fruit, fine oak frame, whole spice, beautiful freshness, smooth, velvety tannins with long finish. Pure joy to drink as it is but with a nice life ahead

(Paris Cornas Granitt 60) #1b; COLOR-dark; NOSE-heavy spice action; obnoxious black & white pepper; Paprika; cherry & beef jerky; leathery & gamey; TASTE-extremely dry; very solid back-end tannins; this is a Big Boy; loaded w/ heavily peppered steak; black licorice; tight on the back-end (would love to see what this does in 7 years); great balance & elegance; I like this, but it needs to be sideways for at least 3 years; WS-93; GV-91

Bacon, blood and very dry crushed stones. Classic old school, real Cornas. This is how they should go.
Loved this and felt healthful.
At first the barnyard made me cheer.
It's dark purple showed very little signs of age.
Steely, granite, blood and bacon.
Just yummy juice.
