Very complex nose of smoke and forest berry fruit with a touch of grilled meat. Extremely dense with enormous fine tannins, but still so bright and energetic. Major concentration at the extremely long, velvety finish, where you feel the wildness that's the signature of this appellation. From a single parcel of 50-year-old vines. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Lastly, and from the oldest vines in the Reynard and La Gnale lieux-dits, the 2022 Cornas La Geynale is not destemmed and spent 16 months in used barrels. Its on another level and brings a locked and loaded profile delivering tons of gorgeous, bloody blue fruits, roasted herbs, cured meats, and floral, peppery nuances. With medium to full-bodied richness as well as a stacked mid-palate and building tannins, this beauty will need 4-5 years of bottle age yet should evolve for two decades. Bravo.
