Powerful, black-fruited, often aged in oak, syrah/Shiraz comes in varying styles but at the top (such as Hermitage) can be spectacular and very long-lived.
There is no question that Syrah is now the most fashionable red grape for new plantings in many New World countries, especially South Africa and Chile.

Domaine Vendome, Cornas, Baryte, 2021
The Roudier family at vendome now farm just under a hectare of Cornas, passed on to them by the retiring Jean-Marie Teysseire. The Syrah vines are approximately 80 years old in the high Chaban sector, on granitic soils marked by baryte, quartz-like inclusions, hence the name. 2021 was a difficult vintage in the northern Rhone - but clearly Cornas was less affected by the rain, which presumably ran off the steep slopes. The grapes were wholly destemmed before fermentation; and the wine was given four weeks maceration and aged only in stainless steel.
This shows generous red fruit, but underpinned by the distinctive savouriness of classic Cornas. Lovely redcurrant crunch. Attractive fat - typical of old vine fruit, which was cropped at 25hl.per hectare. Very long indeed. Now-2029
