Robert Michel
La Geynale Cornas Syrah
Cornas, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Finally uncoiling a bit. Still tight as can be, but better than a bottle from a year ago.

#2005 #LaGeynale #Cornas #RobertMichel My favorite grape, #Syrah from my favorite region, #NorthernRhone ❤️ The Deep, dark purple/red color seduces you before your lips even touch the glass. "You had me at Hello..." (is what I may have said out loud actually) 😊. This wine is like a tall, sexy, brooding man with all the right moves😗😘. Once you taste it there's really no turning back... Savory, lightly spicy, rustic yet refined at the same time... This is a very unique and gorgeous bottle of wine. Unlike any other Cornas I have tried. Touch of funk dancing gracefully with the big tannins and perfectly round dark fruit... Such a smooth ride. I feel sorry for any other wine trying to win you over on the same night as him... & he will only get better with age👌😉 #Betony restaurant #ThirstyThursday #HappyGirl #Cheers 🍴🍷

Goodness nearly 12 hours into my birthday; Cornas is the perfect intermezzo. Spicy, bright £ crunchy garnet hues.

I heard rumors that this vintage has really come out of its shell, and I was pleased to find the rumors true. Dark, dark Syrah fruit. Sweet, deep and intense for a Michel wine, but open. Several great producers have studied under Robert Michel, including Thierry Allemand. I love his wines and it's always tough popping these bottles since he retired in 2006.
