Visual aspect: intense ruby-red with slightly tile-red tinges. Nose: ripe red fruits (Morello cherry in kirsch), animal scents, leather, liquorice. Delectable, complex. Becomes more complex after swirling. Discreet élevage (coconut,vanilla). Palate: savoury palate, melted tannins, with peppery aromas. Roasted finish, fine and fresh, with blackcurrant in retro-olfaction. Match with food: rib steak with green pepper. Comments: elegant wine, well-mastered, from a perfectly ripe harvest.
