Color: deep garnet with violet highlights. Nose: blackberry, black cherry, cassis, fresh plum, with notes of garrigue, thyme and rosemary. Palate: broad and velvety on the attack, developing into a dense yet harmonious texture. The tannins are ripe, fine and beautifully integrated. Freshness brings balance and vibrancy. The finish is long, savoury and elegant, with lingering liquorice notes. Pairing: partridge with cabbage. Comment: an attractive vintage combining power, finesse and balance.
