Visual aspect: a bold, deep garnet-red colour.
Nose: pure tightly-knit, with a distinct terroir appeal. Powerful hints of small black fruit, damp earth and sweet spices.
Palate: excellent structure opening up on flavours of red fruit. Marvellous length on the finish.
Match with food: roast beef with chanterelle mushrooms.
Comment: an intense, powerful and extremely complex Rugiens.
