Robert Michel La Geynale Cornas Syrah 2004
The Robert Michel Cornas La Geynale 2004 is the embodiment of old-school Cornas—powerful, deeply structured, and profoundly expressive. A majestic interplay of dark berries, smoked meat, and black olive unfolds with age, revealing layers of graphite, cracked pepper, and forest floor. The tannins, once formidable, have softened into a regal frame, allowing its sauvage energy to persist with grace. A wine of quiet authority and enduring presence—noble and untamed. Vintage: 2004 Country: France Region: Northern Rhône Appellation: Cornas Grape: Syrah Drink: Now–2030

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.

No decant necessary. Very open knit and showing black olive tapenade. This and the Mikulski are tied for WOTN
