The deep ruby/purple-hued 2006 Cornas Granite 30 reveals a beautifully sweet nose of wild blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of forest floor, underbrush, pepper, figs, and spice. This complex, full-bodied Cornas can be drunk now or cellared for a decade or more. These impressive, quasi-modern-styled Cornas reveal the influence of barrique aging, but there is no doubting their savage blast of blue and black fruits as well as spring flowers. In 2007, Paris has added a third cuvee from one of the most highly respected vineyard sites high on the steep hills of Cornas, La Geynale.A Thomas Calder Selection (various importers) Paris, fax 011-33-1-46-45-15-29
