Cornas-Vallon-de-L'Aigle 2015

From Jean-Luc Colombo's distinctive stable. Northern Rhone 100% Syrah at its best. Hand picked, hand de-stemmed from 70+ year old vines. Free run juice only used! Silky smooth tannins and ripe blue and mulberry fruit. A distinct floral edge to the nose and palate - violets and iris. Aged to perfection. Ideal with Mediterranean food, game or soft cheeses.

Critic tasting note: "Hints of charred earth and dried herb introduce this bold, richly concentrated Syrah. A limited bottling of miniscule production, it offers throbbing blackberry and cassis flavors edged by delicate seams of smoke, vanilla and crushed ore. This lavish but invigorating wine is stunning already but will improve through 2035 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima" - 97/100, Wine Enthusiast
