Visual aspect: deep, dark red hue. Light evolution on the disk. Nose: open, complex bouquet. Woody, vanilla, sweet spices, mint. The wood still dominates and has to melt. Notes of cinnamon and chocolate. Palate: good tension, with alcohol. Also supported by fine tannins. Good length. Match with food: game with sauce; chocolate fondant; refined Comté cheese. Comments: a powerful wine, quite racy. To decant.
