Jean-Luc Colombo Les Ruchets Cornas 2010

Shows a lovely savory hint, with green olive and tobacco notes wrapping around a serious chalky grip. The core of butter, cherry, red currant and blackberry fruit sits in the background for now. Dense and vinous, this is driven by minerality, and should age wonderfully as the fruit comes forward. Best from 2015 through 2027. Score - 95. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, web only, 2013)
