Color: deep ruby, brilliant. Nose: flattering and refined, with ripe black fruits and red berries, spiced with vanilla, pepper, and a hint of truffle and oak. Palate: rich and refined, supported by elegant, ample body and crisp, fine tannins. Silky finish, upheld by a graceful texture. Pairing: veal sweetbreads with morel mushrooms. Comment: a great Burgundian wine—splendid!
