"Les Cornuds 2018 is an equal blend of Syrah and Grenache, which screams Syrah in its aromas, with flavors of blackberry, violet, ground pepper and meat. Concentrated, medium to full-bodied and balanced, this is an extra wine that will keep for 7-8 years or more." (Jeb Dunnuck 2019) A sure bet!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Over the past 15 years, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel has expanded by acquiring appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley. A successful ambition, both in Luberon with Vieille Ferme and on the other terroirs presented. A perfect mastery of fermentation and appropriate ageing are key factors in this success.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain Rated Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
Founded in 1909 by grandfather Gabriel Tramier, Maison Perrin has combined wine trading and vineyard operations for five generations, including the renowned Ch. de Beaucastel (Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and La Vieille Ferme, a vast estate in the Luberon region.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2019 guide) 88-90/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, Les Cornuds 2018 has tarry notes and dark tapenade flavors combined with brighter fruit notes. Medium- to full-bodied, firm, crisp and slightly dusty on the finish, it needs a little more time.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 90-92/100
About the wine:
Les Cornuds 2018 is an equal blend of Syrah and Grenache, which just screams Syrah in its aromas and flavors of blackberry, violet, ground pepper and meat. Concentrated, medium to full-bodied and balanced, this is an extra wine that will keep for 7-8 years or more.
