Visual aspect: very dark ruby-red colour with purple tinges. Nose: powerful, rich, complex, revealing woody and spicy notes. Palate: well-structured and vivid. Beautiful finish finely woody, with black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry), spicy. Match with food: prime rib of beef roasted and caramelized shallots. Comments: this lovely wine has a good ageing potential but can be enjoyed from now on thanks to its sensational fruitiness.
