Visual aspect: deep ruby-red hue with purplish tinges. Colourful, numerous and regular tears. Nose: flattering, appealing. First nose is spicy with scents of toasted bread, blackcurrant and blackberry. Peppery second nose with aromas of damson. Palate: pure, juicy, generous first taste. Crushed blackcurrant, still tight tannins. Match with food: veal rib with truffled sauce; quails stuffed with prunes. Comments: a sterling work.
