Visual aspect: purple, ruby-red tinges. Good translucency, brilliant disk. Thick tears. Nose: open, very ripe fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), spicy. Palate: pure first taste. Dense tannins, a light astringency. Discreet volume, fine freshness. Match with food: duck breast and its red onion compote, Dauphine potatoes. Comments: a dish in sauce is recommended to appreciate this very great wine.
