2013 Domaine Vincent Paris St. Joseph Les Cotes 89 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, St. Joseph
The bouquet of this 2013 is much more rustic compared to the 2012 with good dark and red berries and some minerals. On the palate more classical as well, good fruits, a good balance between acidity and sweetness and slightly sticky tannin. In this stage I prefer the 2013 above the 2012. Around 2020 it is probably even nicer.

France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
Beautiful and classical bouquet with dark forest fruits, leather and minerals. On the palate juicy dark berries, minerals and leather again, a good balance between acidity and sweetness and slightly sticky tannin. Beautiful wine already. Around 2020 probably a bit better. 90+ for today.

2013 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 30 90 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
Beautiful and classical bouquet with dark forest fruits, leather and minerals and a bit more rustic than the 2012. On the palate good dark forest fruits, some leather and minerals and a touch of sweetness. Ok acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Give the wine a few more years of ageing. Around 2019? Same score as the 2012 for the moment.

2013 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 60 92 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
Just limited notes. The bouquet is still locked. On the palate red and dark berries, minerals, bacon, good acidity and sticky tannin. This wine needs some ageing. At least until 2020. Good potential. 91 – 92+ for today.

2010 Château Tour Sieujean 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
The bouquet shows dark forest fruits and some vanilla. On the palate juicy dark forest fruits, e.g. cassis, some sweet spices, good acidity and round and mild tannin. I never tasted the wine before and it was a pleasant surprise. Probably wise to wait until 2019+ my score is 88+ for today.
