Country: France /
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet / Hermitage
This wine starts off a bit smoky and cedary, but with time it develops more typical Hermitage notes of cassis, hickory smoke and meat. It’s medium to full in body, with a rich texture and long finish. Approachable now, but should age easily through 2018.
