Paul Jaboulet Aîné Domaine de Saint Pierre Cornas Syrah 2015

Deeper and richer than the Champelrose the 2015 Cornas La Sabarotte comes from a great vineyard in the middle of the appellation and was raised in new barrels. Its huge nose of black raspberries cassis licorice and violets give way to a full-bodied incredibly seamless gorgeously polished 2015 that's perfectly balanced has sweet tannin and a great great finish. Give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following two decades. The Courbis brothers have hit a home run with these 2015s the finest wines I’ve tasted from this brilliant estate. All three of the single vineyard Cornas are incredible wines with the Les Eygats being one of finest Cornas ever made. The 2016s are also terrific wines that aren’t far behind the 2015s and they’ll be approachable at an earlier age as well. 98 points. -Jeb Dunnuck
