Drinking 2004, 2005 and 2006 of La Geynale. I think the last 3 vintage of Robert Michel, isn'it?
Amazing how those 3 vintages are aligned and consistent!
2004 is immediately super powerful and true. Very intense. 2005 takes a lot of time to open up. First very closed and quite a lot of alcohol vapors, bit after 3-4 hours, it's getting there, may be the more intense. 2006 is much easier, closer to northern neighbors in Hermitage or Croze Hermitage.
But still all is super consistent, and super traditional.
