Visual aspect: garnet-red. Nose: of good intensity, unveiling aromas of red and black fruit compote, with notes of maturation in barrels and of toast. Palate: powerful first taste, straight palate marked by aromas of ripe fruits; melted but present tannins; flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry. Match with food: pigeon from the Drôme; foie gras with prunes. Comments: pleasant wine.
