Robert Michel, Cornas Geynale Vintage:2005 lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finale

lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finale

This is perfectly good but not what I would call classic

which is a bit more forward and oxidative than it usually is

serious and strikingly long finish

There is excellent freshness and vibrancy to the pure

Robert Michel, Cornas Geynale Vintage:2005 lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finaleIntense, with a brooding feel to aromas and flavors of anise, blackberry compote, tar and Chinese plum sauce. Very dense, with a wall of fruit on the finish, this nods to the modern style, but remains very grounded in its iron clad terroir. Cellar. Best from 2006 through 2011. 150 cases imported. JM
