The 2001 Cornas Vin Noir that Daniel picked up is very pleasing, if incredibly tannic. I've never had an old Allemand wine. They seem nice enough when young, but lacking the gustatory fireworks of Lionnet, Clape, Verset and, since you mentioned them, Domaine du Tunnel. Any thoughts on Vincent Paris's Cornas?

Any thoughts on Vincent Paris’s Cornas?

I'd probably put him in my top 5, behind Clape, Verset and tied for 3rd with Lionnet, ahead of Allemand (whose wines are very good, but I remain skeptical about their ability to age in an interesting manner).

If people like his wines there is less of a chance that his vineyards will be used to make proper wine.

Surely you should be grateful for these people not competing for the availability of other, objectively superior wines?
