Color: deep red with purple highlights. Nose: ripe black and red fruits, black pepper, violet, black olive and a hint of smoke. With aeration, notes of garrigue, sweet spices and granitic minerality emerge. Palate: broad on the attack, with remarkable energy. Fine, tightly knit and elegant tannins support juicy fruit and a fresh backbone. The finish is long, mouth-watering and spicy, with persistent mineral notes. Pairing: young partridge with grapes. Comment: the wine combines restrained power with outstanding aromatic precision.
