Visual aspect: a gleaming ruby-red with purple tints.
Nose: a lovely nose exuding fragrances of pine resin, liquorice and jammy small red fruit. 
Palate: melted tannin on the first taste, lots of mellowness and depth on spicy flavours. A powerful, full-bodied finish.
Match with food: duck-breast.
Comments: a magnificent wine to taste without delay.
