Visual aspect: radiant, with a vibrant ruby colour.
Nose: concentrated, with tremendous fullness revealing aromas of red and black fruit, mingled with vegetal hints (peppermint, green pepper) and some spices (cinnamon, vanilla, liquorice), as well as a touch of cedar.
Palate: pure, precise first taste, with distinct tannin enveloping dense, tightly-knit fleshiness.
Match with food: rib steak à la bordelaise.
Comments: a model of purity, where the precision of maturation is quite simply magnificent.
