Color: ruby hue, beautiful shine. Nose: fruity, fresh, minty, liquorice, vanilla, chocolate. Bouquet of sour cherry, black plum, blackberry, crème de cassis. Palate: juicy, fresh. Ripe morello cherry, bigarreau cherry, wild strawberry, underlined by the acidity of blackcurrant and the freshness of peppermint. Spicy, fine, velvety and firm tannins. Nice balance. Pairing: beef tournedos. Comment: a straightforward and fragrant wine, with a velvety tannic structure and good ageing potential.
