Ruby red in colour with russet hues. Complex in the nose, good intensity, balsamic, spicy, leathers, tobacco; all of this over a delightful candied fruit backdrop. A very enticing combination. In the mouth: elegant, tasty, highly aromatic, voluptuous tannins still present in the classical style and lasting through the aftertaste. Pair with roasted red meats, game, cured, intense and spicy cheeses.
Vinous
- v91
Dark garnet. Ripe red and dark berries, smoky oak, coffee and a hint of vanilla on the fragrant nose. Smooth and broad on the palate, offering pliant, smoke-accented cherry-vanilla and black currant flavors that tighten up and turn spicier through the midpalate. The spicy nuance adds lift to a smooth, smoky finish that features velvety tannins, a touch of coconut and a strong echo of jammy red berries.
