Visual aspect: purple, deep, brilliant. Nose: aromatic, complex, distinguished, racy, typical, cinnamon, blackberries, blackcurrants, violets, a little cocoa. Palate: a fresh attack, slightly mentholated, peonies, slightly smoky, vegetal, the spices rise and remain suspended with violets and blackberries. Nice balance. Match with food: hanger steak with shallots, veal kidneys with Roquefort and cream. Comments: an interesting wine.
