Color: deep garnet with ruby highlights. Nose: highly intense, opening with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, fig, liquorice, black pepper, rosemary and lavender, complemented by delicate hints of cocoa and fine leather. Palate: broad and velvety on the attack. The generous texture is supported by ripe, fine and perfectly integrated tannins. The finish is long, elegant and persistent. Pairing: rib of beef with green peppercorn sauce. Comment: a remarkable balance between power and finesse.
