Color: dark ruby with a light garnet rim. Nose: plum, cherry, blackberry, toasted oak, sweet spices, black earth and smoke. Palate: broad and clean from the attack, with refreshing acidity and silky tannins. Solid and warm. Generous mid-palate with black cherry, plum, blackberry, sweet spices and roasted oak. The whole is rich and perfectly balanced. Pairing: Provençal beef stew. Comment: a generous and refined wine, driven by ripe fruit and perfectly integrated oak ageing.
