Visual aspect: a beautifully radiant black-ruby hue with dark purple tinges.
Nose: open and expressive, giving a wide range of powerful, complex aromas, with scents of small black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry) mingled with hints of liquorice and sweet spices.
Palate: elegant and velvety smooth on a structure of distinct tannin. The finish is fruity and astonishingly long.
Match with food: rack of lamb Parmentier.
Comments: a fine wine which has tremendous charm and remarkable balance.
