Natalie's Score: 93/100

E. Guigal 2018 is a rich, full-bodied and plushy 100% Syrah from the Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône wine region. Vines are raised in limestone clay, silt and sandy gravelly soils and average 30 years of age. Ripe on the nose with bright red berry and spicy toasty oak aromas, this is a beautifully crafted red with dark cherry, black currant, licorice, baking spice and smoky vanilla flavours on the palate. Tannins are currently firm and grippy and the wine is a good cellaring candidate. Matured 36 months in French oak barrels (50% new). Drink or hold.

Food pairings: roast rack of lamb, prime rib roast, roast duck.
