". . . the 2011 Cornas Granit 60 is one of the stars of the vintage. Offering up a layered, complex bouquet of black fruits, smoked herbs, charcoal, mint and crushed rock, it flows onto the palate with a voluptuous, blockbuster-styled texture that carries brilliant levels of fruit, sweet tannin and moderate acidity. Given the additional fruit and texture here, it’s actually more approachable than the Granit 30 at the moment; nevertheless, it will evolve gracefully for 15 years or more, and is an awesome wine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
