Color: dark, deep ruby, violet reflections. Nose: spicy, cocoa, liquorice, black fruits. Complex and melted aromas. Slight animal touch (leather). Palate: crisp attack, ample, very fine, elegant. Very beautiful length, with an explosion of fruits. A lot of pleasure. Pairing: tournedos Rossini; rack of lamb in salt and rosemary crust. Comment: a very successful wine, distinguished by its power and elegance.
