Color: slightly evolved purple with brown reflections. Nose: elegant and complex. Black and red fruits, sweet spices, well-integrated wood. Palate: broad and smooth attack, evolved, with ripe and well-integrated tannins. Cooked fruits, spices, and roasting notes. All perfectly balanced by well-controlled freshness. The wine is smooth, velvety, and finishes long with slightly jammy notes. Pairing: spiced pigeon. Comment: a charming wine.
