The 6th Wine of Christmas: 2004 Jean-Luc Colombo Les Forots

Jacob Gaffney  in Côtes du Rhône, Shiraz/Syrah , , ,

For the next six days, InterWined.com is bringing you a new review from its Totally Awesome Christmas Cracker Wine Case, as it counts down the Twelve Wines of Christmas.

Short review, this: the 2004 Jean-Luc Colombo Les Forots Côtes du Rhône (13%) is a blockbuster. Made of 100% Syrah, this is a wine that tastes of heavy vine fruits smashed up — strong, strong stuff. Wonderful balance: 8.5 alone, 8.6 in a discounted mixed case.

Perfect for a Christmas Eve spent with family and friends, bathing in the warm glow of the fire — or television screen. Ed.

Jean-Luc Colombo’s White Cotes du Rhone is exceptional too.
