Visual aspect: crimson hue, pinkish tinges. Translucency, beautiful viscosity. Nose: open, spicy, fine, toasted. Palate: supple first taste. Develops with an elegant freshness. Supple palate with volume. Still young tannins. Match with food: sirloin with wine sauce, potatoes and mushrooms; trout à la Libournaise and risotto with ceps. Comments: a wine as we would like to taste more often.
