Visual aspect: deep red colour, not much evolved. Nose: quite discreet, black fruit compote, oriental spices notes, kirschy. Well-structured, very ripe. Palate: full-bodied, good material, rich. Present tannins. An aftertaste that demands to reveal, still discreet. Match with food: Languedoc stew; prime rib of beef; chocolate fondant. Comments: good ageing potential. To keep 2-3 years to reach its peak and to decant 1h before.
