A wall of flavour abuts a wall of tannin

I also find toasted aniseed at the back

sumptuous and firmly structured

Vincent Paris Cornas La Geynale Rhone 2010 not on sale A wall of flavour abutsThe massive 2010 Cornas La Geynale exhibits a black purple color along with a beautiful perfume of bouquet garni, smoked meats, blackberries and creme de cassis liqueur. Some floral notes are also present in this huge, over sized (or is it super sized?) offering along with tremendous glycerin and intensity. There is plenty of tannin (as one would expect in a 2010), so forget it for 5 6 years and drink it over the following 25. Robert Parker
