Visual aspect: very intense hue of crimson colour; brilliant garnet-red tinges and disk. Nose: very good intensity, very delicate; concentrated aromas of red and black fruits, flowery, spicy. Palate: fresh first taste; silky tannins that roll on the tongue; wonderful mid-palate. The aromas of the nose open up in the mouth. Straight and spicy finish. Match with food: hare à la royale. Comments: wonderful wine.
