Color: garnet hue, tiled reflections. Nose: fresh, red and black fruits (blackberry, plum), tobacco, liquorice, leather, undergrowth. Expressive, elegant. Palate: velvet, delectable, melted tannins. Eucalyptus, a lot of freshness. Long finish. A very good wine. Pairing: lamb shank; hare à la royale with its cauliflower brioche. Comment: nice balance, drink now or age for 5-10 years.
