Very interesting! (I would have had to have been on serious anxiety meds to keep a Gamay this long!)

Coeur de Granit Moulin-à-Vent Gamay

Pure fruit- strawberry/cherry, some dusty tannins and a hint of smokiness makes this quite nice. — 4 years ago

Granit Mineral Selection Monção e Melgaço Alvarinho 2020

Wow that nose! There is chalk and lemon peel, to that point that I could be thrown off-pace to Chablis here. There are some pear notes too that linger in the back. The palate is a joy... There is a massive acid backbone that makes it a very long wine. There is width and matter, giving it presence. There are lemon peel and pear notes all along, along with a chalky, dusty mouthfeel on the sides. The finish is long, extended, with pear notes and that slight lemon peel thing which goes away somehow in the end. That's clearly a very serious vinho Verde here! I'm a big fan — 3 years ago

Great notes DM. It is amazing that Portugal can obtain such chalky minerality to be reminiscent of Chablis. I will visit them in July.

Thank you @Martin Bergo ! The value of this is insane. To be honest it had been a long time since I last was that impressed/surprised by a wine.

Granit 30 Cornas Syrah 2021

Easy to drink on pop & pour for such a young Syrah.

Reminded me a bit of the Domaine Rostaing’s I’ve enjoyed. Ripe black cherry, crème de cassis, violets, lavender, pepper, stem inclusion, notes of roasted chestnuts, grilled meats, iron pan, spices, dark flowers, nice acidity with good balance and elegant finish.
