1995 Jean-Luc Colombo Cornas Les Ruchets 89 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
Very reductive at first. The wine is reddish-brown. Smells like coffee, dark fruit, pepper, and a little green. Some mint on the palate. Sweet and sour fruit, but the wine has some paprika notes that do not disappear. Nice structure and decent length.

Flight 4 - Historical Spain (8 Notes)

The wine is light brown, transparent. Smells like tea and overripe fruit. Broth, spices and tar. Tastes anise and prunes, and thin fruit. The wine still has some tannins and acid. Soaked cork, and most likely a non-optimal bottle. More interesting than good.
