Visual aspect: a cardinal red hue. Nose: very rich, stylish, smoky and delicate on fragrances of spices and red fruit. It is elegant and silky. Palate: sophisticated, silky and extremely linear. It reveals flavours of vanilla and spices on the finish. Excellent balance. Match with food: rack of lamb roasted with a few shallots, garlic and crispy potatoes. Comment: a gourmand and gourmet wine.
