Color: deep violet. Nose: magnificent, unveiling aromas of black and red fruits (raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant) enhanced by more integrated spicy notes. Palate: a wine of character and nobility, with a powerful and deep structure, supported by velvety tannins. A well-structured, distinguished finish. Pairing: venison roast with Sarlat-style potatoes. Comment: a beautifully mastered balance that delights.
