Visual aspect: a garnet-red colour with purple tints. Nose: very expressive, exuding fragrances of small, fresh red fruit, accompanied by hints of sweet spices.
Palate: supple, perfectly well balanced, it has silky, delicious tannins.
Match with food: pigeon roasted with currants.
Comment: a marvellous wine produced by a domain that gives consistent quality. Superb.
