Visual aspect: lovely ruby-red colour with purplish glints. Nose: fine and rich. On spices, blackcurrant, raspberry, cherry, jam, leather aromas. Palate: greedy, generous, ample attack. Fine palate on flavours of jammy red fruits, with melted and silky tannins, a spicy relief. Match with food: leg of lamb with thyme and rosemary served with fresh peas in their pods, green asparagus tips and young broad beans. Comments: a wine for pure pleasure.
