Color: dark red. Nose: upon aeration, elegant vegetal notes emerge, very lively. Then aromas of blackcurrant bud and black pepper develop. Palate: dense, powerful and vibrant, with fine tannins. The wine is broad, clean and direct, well balanced between a smooth and rounded texture. Long, sustained finish hints at great ageing potential. Pairing: roast duck with chanterelles. Comment: an exceptional wine.
