2014 Cornas, Les Ruchets i 12-stk. træ Vins Jean-Luc Colombo Rødvin - Syrah - 75 cl - 14,00 %

Jean-Luc Colombo's "flagskib" og den vin, det hele startede med: Les Ruchets (Bistaderne) er lavet på druerne fra en enkelt mark, der ligger på "chaillot", Cornas' berømte stejle granitholdige terrasser omgivet af enebær og egetræer.

Farven er dyb granat. Duften af friske røde bær og lakrids vælder op af glasset. Smagen er intens og velstruktureret med modne og smidige tanniner, der leder over i en lang eftersmag. Vinens rigdom og modne tanniner gør det ikke strengt nødvendigt at drikke den til mad - livsnydere vil givetvis også finde stort behag i at drikke den som "meditationsvin". Skal den kombineres med gastronomi, vil festmåltider med vildt, and eller oksekød være oplagte bud.

94 point, Wine Spectator: ”Fleshy and layered, with crushed blueberry, acai berry and plum flavors that have melded together, carried by a dense but rounded texture. The long finish lets sweet tobacco and dark fruit cake notes check in. A loamy tug at the end keeps this honest. Best from 2018 through 2019. 800 cases made.”

92+point, Wine Advocate: "2014 Cornas Les Ruchets was the tightest, most backward and reserved on this occasion. It slowly gave up notes of ripe dark fruits, lavender, hints of of minerality and damp earth, as well as medium to full-bodied richness, a terrific mid palate and ripe sweet tannin. It needs to be forgotten for a year of three, and like the Cuvée la Louvée, will drink well for a decade."

Wine Advocate: "Jean Luc Colombo's family estate now has daughter Laure Colombo at helm and the wines continue to go from strength, with classic characters that always offer pure, clean fruit. In addition to the Cornas releases, the estate releases several high-quality whites from throughout the south of France, as well as an excellent Côtes du Rhône and Saint Joseph red."
