E Guigal, St-Joseph, Rhône, France, 2016

This 100% Syrah is made from the fruit of a selection of old vines aged between 20 and 50 years old. The nose immediately packs a powerful punch, full of bright red fruit and subtly spicy oak aromas. The palate is loaded with delicious, crunchy cherry notes, which are supported by supple, rounded tannins and underpinned by zippy acidity. It’s a wine that is well worth the money.
