Fans of northern Rhone Syrah at its plumpest and most opulent best will not want to miss the 2020 vintage of Vincent Paris’s Cornas ‘Granit 60’. It’s delicious now, a furiously dark and dangerous adolescent bursting with youthful energy, but will age beautifully in a cool cellar for at least 15 if not 20 years.

Press reviews:

Decanter: “There are herbal depths here, but they're currently filled by the intense, powerful berry fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, this has good concentration and intensity of fruit, coupled with powerful but very ripe tannin. There's good energy here, the wine is upright and not as soft and easy-going as some other Cornas this year. Great vitality and salinity, this is well-balanced, fresh and classically Cornas. A satisfying and energising wine with a long finish. 50-year-old vines on very steep slopes, 70% destemmed. No pigeage, natural yeasts, then spending 16 months in two to eight-year-old barrels. Drink now-2035.” 95 points

JancisRobinson.com: “Subtle. An understated yet concentrated wine with lovely sweetness of fruit, fine tannic structure, integrated oak. All the components here are in fine balance. Dark olives, sweetness of berry fruit. Intriguing mineral and floral finish. Drink now-2032.” 16.5+ points
