DOMAINE ISABEL FERRANDO Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Colombis' 2013

This outstanding old-vine Grenache from Isabel Ferrando seems to shine in every vintage no matter how difficult the conditions. In 2013, Isabel was to achieve outstanding ripeness and concentration, as this delivers intense aromas and flavors of roasted plum and mulled cherry along with kirsch liquor, fresh lavender, pepper and hints of chocolate ganache. This possesses a full body with wonderful round tannins and a lovely seamless texture that continues on through the velvety finish. Although the 'Colombis' is one of the most compelling wines of the vintage, it will ultimately demand some additional time to settle down before it shows its best stuff.
