Color: violet with purple reflections. Nose: fresh, with eucalyptus and ripe black fruits (blackcurrant). Palate: soft and silky attack. Fine-grained tannins. Crunchy and indulgent. Nice fresh finish with a hint of spice. Pairing: sliced and seared Bazas beef pear with Japanese sticky rice and red fruit sauce. Comment: a fresh and enjoyable wine. Its softness and roundness invite casual tasting. Will develop well over the next 5 years.
