94 JG. "The old vines in the Domaine Dujac parcel of Combottes have really produced a magical wine in 2014, and happily, this wine was absolutely singing at the time of my visit. The deep, pure and utterly superb nose jumps from the glass in a blend of cherries, red plums, gamebird, woodsmoke, coffee, vanillin oak and a stunningly precise base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very, very transparent this year, with a great sappy core of fruit, exceptionally suave structural elements, bright acids and a very, very long, nascently complex and energetic finish. A great, great vintage for Combottes!" John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2015, Issue #60 |
