Great nose and showing signs of maturity. Lurid aromas of red berry fruit, smoked meat, granite, herbs and smoke. Really gorgeous nose. Unreal terroir expression and so so vivid. Brilliant. 9.7 nose. Palate is ripe and juicy with terrific freshness and purity and all red fruits. Maybe a hint of cassis. Such freshness and energy here. Long finish.

Syrah from just outside of Cornas. Not much granite, but it's much more open and pure at the moment than Gilles '10 Cornas.

Got gradually better over three hours until it was gone. Yum!
Slight note of pencil shavings or some such thing, which was more and more filled up by red fruit. A pleasure to smell, easy to drink. Long finish of fresh citrus and maybe licorice.
