Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Domaine de Thalabert, Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône, France 2015

This is a real treat. Not only does this northern Rhône Syrah have nearly a decade's ageing under its belt, it's also from the incredible 2015 vintage, declared at the time by one leading producer in the region as 'surely the vintage of a lifetime'. Fruit-packed still and tannin-structured, this is serious stuff, dark and earthy with fresh black berry fruit, medicinal, iodine notes, black olive, and tertiary complexity. Gutsy wine, perfect for a winter's evening – snap it up while you can. Mix-six price: £29.99
