Visual aspect: pellucid and lustrous, it has a black inky hue with bold bluish tinges.
Nose: complex, revealing aromas of small black fruit (blackberry), spices and peony.
Palate: full-bodied and ample, with dense, rich substance and ripe tannins. It finishes on marvellous length. Match with food: beef rib roast with shallot sauce.
Comment: its fullness is impressive, patience will be required before fully appreciating this fine wine.
