VINCENT PARIS 2023 Cornas 'La Geynale' (Rhone Valley, FR)

Where do we start? From who we consider to be nobility in the world of Rhone Valley wine, VINCENT CORNAS comes this exemplary heavy hitter. It is a single-vineyard Syrah from one of the warmest sites in Cornas. The vines are 110 years old. They are low-yielding vines that produce grapes of great maturity & depth of flavor. Rich, chocolate-covered black cherries meet earth and spicy notes. Tannins are plentiful, balanced by a surprisingly fresh acidity. This powerful wine will benefit from laying down for a while before opening.
