Country: France / Terres Brulées
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Jean-Luc Colombo / Cornas
Cornas is Colombo’s home turf, and the 2005 Terres Brulees shows his mastery, offering up beefy, cedary notes but also cracked pepper and cassis alongside iron-like mineral notes. This is full-bodied and intense, with plenty of structure; drink 2015-2025.
