Cornas Granit 60 Vieilles Vignes•2022

Initially brooding and tight, Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 60 Vieilles Vignes 2022 slowly gives way to dark, ripe blackberry and plum layered with cedar, graphite, smoked meat and a touch of wild herbs. The palate is full-bodied and firmly structured, with dense fruit wrapped in muscular tannins and a dry, powerful finish that speaks clearly of old vines and a hot, concentrated vintage. This is a serious, backward Cornas that will reward patience more than early curiosity.
