2019 Cornas, Philippe et Vincent Jaboulet, Rhone Valley, France

100% Syrah, aged in barrel for 2 years before release.

It's a robust and firmly structured wine. It's deep in colour and rich with damson and blueberry fruit in its youth. There is definite potential for ageing over the next decade or so.
