The 2014 ‘Colombis’ is a fantastic showing from Isabel Ferrando in this vintage. Instantly opening with vivid aromas of black raspberries, dark cherries, exotic spices, floral, licorice and underlying smoky notes all taking shape in the glass. This is ripe and expansive on the palate, with a gorgeous velvety texture backed by a core black raspberries, dark cherries, spices and licorice notes all cascading onto the lingering finish. While this is delicious now, I expect this to really start hitting its sweet spot after about 3-4 years of bottle age. (Best 2019-2032) - January, 2017 (JD)
