Visual aspect: superb, pure and radiant.
Nose: clean and delicate revealing aromas of small red and black fruit, as well as a touch of peony and liquorice.
Palate: elegant and intense, smooth, with lovely balance, caressing tannin, and a touch of spices. A marvellous, long finish on hints of leather and iris.
Match with food: a thickly-cut piece of deer.
Comments: a splendid wine.
