Visual aspect: a relatively dark crimson colour with purplish tinges.
Nose: first impression: clean and powerful, with scents of bilberry and cherry, as well as a gamey hint. After swirling, aromas of liquorice, dried flowers, pot pourri. Powerful on the nose, with good complexity.
Palate: full-bodied first taste, with a smooth sensation and freshness on development as it stretches across the palate. The flavours confirm the aromas, with a hint of nutmeg in flower. Tightly-knit tannin and a fresh, averagely long finish, with a hint of Black Forest gateau on retro-olfaction.
Match with food: tenderly pink roasted pigeon, stewed beetroot and thickened cherry juice with fried chickpea flour cakes.
Comments: this wine can be served now to enjoy its young fruitiness, charming character and freshness.
