Jean-Luc Colombo 2009 Les Ruchets (Cornas)

Country: France / Les Ruchets
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Jean-Luc Colombo / Cornas

Firmly in the style of the vintage, this is dense, full-bodied Cornas, with plenty of fruit. Intense plum, coffee and black olive notes dominate, while the tannins are ripe and plush. Believe it or not, this is actually drinkable now, yet should age easily through at least 2025.
