2009 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 30 - Stocktake Sale Item

Stocktake Sale Item! WAS: $59.99

An elegantly structured Syrah.
Very deep, dark purple crimson red colour with purple crimson red hue. The nose displays aromas of blackberry, liquorice and blackpepper with a smoky, meat like overlay. The blackpepper component becomes more prominent with air time. Medium bodied the palate delivers flavours of dark cherry, dark plum and dried meat with some blackpepper on the back palate. Excellent length with fine grained, dryish tannins. Medium to long aftertaste of blackpepper, dark cherry and dried meats.

Vincent Paris’s 2009s are spectacular wines that will repay 10-20 years of cellaring (in the case of La Geynale and Granite 60 Vieilles Vignes). These are rich, full-bodied efforts that cut a nice style between the traditional and more modern, barrique-aged Cornas. Purity, texture and an unmistakable gamy, animal Syrah character that comes from this amphitheater-like appellation are all present in these three cuvees of Cornas. The black/purple-tinged 2009 Cornas Granite 30 exhibits abundant notes of black fruits, a lighter body, gobs of minerality and layers of flavor.
