Color: pretty garnet color, deep, limpid, pink reflections. Nose: powerful, nice bouquet of ripe fruits, jammy, spicy. Palate: very nice first taste, good volume, ample, round, greedy. Black fruits, spicy, melted tannins, slightly woody and vanilla. A nice strucutre, well-balanced. Pairing: braised red meat; game with sauce. Comment: good ageing potential (5 years). A beautiful family story.
