Tasting
Hue : Superb and deep ruby colour.
Nose : Powerful, rich, complex. Notes of black fruit and liquorice but also garrigue (scrubland) and minerality.
Palate : The palate is harmonious, elegant and concentrated. A well-balanced wine, with a good structure with elegant and silky tannins.
Service : 18°C/64°F and decant if possible. Divine with red meat such as prime rib, or with a pigeon casserole.
Contains sulfites
