Visual aspect: a lovely dark ruby colour with beautifully bright bluish tinges.
Nose: expressive on aromas of very ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) on a backdrop of discreet woodiness.
Palate: powerful, concentrated, with a smooth, round texture. Magnificent length on the finish.
Match with food: jugged hare or pigeon stuffed with foie gras.
Comment: a remarkable wine with velvety fleshiness. Buy some without delay - there are still some bottles left!
