Clos St. Jean Combe des Fous 2010 MG

Powerful. rich and intense. the nose gets you going with its earthy red berries. spice. jam and peppery aromas. On the palate. the wine is rich. fresh. concentrated lushly textured. finishing with layers of spicy. fresh red and black fruits." - 96/100. Jeff Leve. The Wine Cellar Insider.

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)
