Visual aspect: ruby-red brilliant and translucent hue, purplish tinges. Nose: aromatic, floral; peony, old rose, fresh raspberry. Palate: straight, tight-knit, palate. Lovely vividness, good first taste. Mid-palate on red fruit aromas. Match with food: eel stew in wine sauce; sausage cooked in red wine sauce. Comments: a well-made wine, atypical of the appellation.
