  Very similar to the last bottle from 22. Plenty of campfire, pepper, grilled meat. Just in a great spot. Hasnt budged in 2 years. Plenty in the tank.

  PnP then decanted and drunk over 1h. Deep red, turning crimson towards the rim. The nose is smoky, bacon-like, more forest floor and black tea than red fruits. On the palate, it's very well balanced, remaining fresh, lively, and persistent. A wonderful Cornas with several more years ahead.

  Still a young wine. The fruit is dark, concentrated, notes of tar, smoke, bacon, dark olives. Tasted over two days, does not really move.

  First bottle from a case of 12. Dark red color. Very tight and closed not giving away much. Dark fruited palate, plenty of fruit, limited evolution. Very hard to get a read at this at this stage, this is massive in terms of material. More open on day 2 apparently. Wait another 5 years at least. Granit 60 tasting chez Lillelund.

  Tasting Ground official tasting, Cornas La Geynale, From Uncle to Nephew (Oinoscent): Bottles open 10.15 and tasted 14.00, no decant
  Heartier, heavier and warmer in the nose, the fruit is riper, cherry and berry, the oak is more upfront. With time you also get darker notes like licorice next to maraschino and sour cherry, elegant, decadent
  The palate is big showing juicy black fruit, clove, peppery notes, dense tannins, full body and long finish. This one has a couple more decades to run
