Red cherry robe, intense and brilliant. The nose is now well opened with intense notes of fruits (cherry, rasperry, black-currant) with notes of vanilla and lightly toasted. The mouth is both powerful and elegant. Tannins are present and well coated. On the palate, fruit aromas are really dominating with a long finish.
Will pair nicely with roasted meat, (lamb, beef), saucy meat, spicy beef tartar, duck breast. Settling before being served.
From 10 to 15 years.
