Jean-Luc Colombo : Les Ruchets 2018

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The star from barrel is the 2018 Cornas les Ruchets, which comes from 80-year-old vines in Chaillot. Unlike the other 2018s from Colombo, it shows more freshness--from the slightly floral and herbal aromas to the blackberry flavors. There are still hints of cola and date in this full-bodied, velvety-textured offering, but there's plenty of vibrant salted licorice and length on the finish.
