Vincent Paris 2019 Cornas "Granit 30" 750ml

[2019] Mineral-driven aromas of ripe black/blue fruits, peony, olive and exotic spices on the nose. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering gently sweet, mineral-kissed cherry and blueberry flavors that deepen slowly with air and show sharp delineation. The blue fruit note drives an impressively long, spicy finish that's given subtle grip by fine-grained, even tannins.

Score: 92-94 points -- Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 2020

[2021] The 2021 Cornas Granit 30 showed well and is clearly a solid wine. Ripe black (as well as some blue) fruits are supported by attractive spice and meaty, floral notes. These carry to a medium-bodied Cornas with a pure, layered mouthfeel, bright acidity, and ripe tannins.
