Visual aspect: gleaming and smooth, with a vivid ruby, purple hue showing the first signs of development. Nose: aromas revealing development: ripe fruit, a touch of game, black pepper, cedar, clove, smokiness, brown tobacco and pencil lead. Palate: fruity, liquorice flavours, rather short. Match with food: grilled meat, fish in red wine sauce, eels cooked in a red wine with onion and garlic. Comments: enjoy this wine while it is young.
