Jean-Luc Colombo 2014 La Louvée (Cornas)

Country: France / La Louvée
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Jean-Luc Colombo / Cornas

My favorite 2014 Cornas from Jean-Luc Colombo, this boasts an intoxicating perfume of peppery spice, anise and blackberry-plum liqueur. It’s elegant on the palate despite the ripe fruit, with silky tannins that belie the wine’s intensity and length. Drink now–2030.
