Combe des Fous 2010 (75 CL)

Wine Advocate

Also up with the top wines of the vintage. the 2010 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Combe des Fous shows the darker fruit and minerality of the vintage with its creme de cassis. blackberry. ground pepper. licorice and ample crushed rock-like minerality. Gaining more than one expletive in the notes. this full-bodied 2010 has thrilling purity of fruit. massive underlying structure and a rich. layered and decadent feel on the finish. As with most 2010s. it needs another 3 to 4 years of bottle age and will easily have two decades of overall longevity. (JD. 8/2014)
