Gracious world class powerful red wine. Deep intense cherry color with ruby red tears. Discreet attack on the nose that takes time to blossom, blueberries with blackberry and cassis on the front, red berries such as raspberry and juniper, dry wild roses and peony, undergrowth, southern herbs and freshly ground white pepper, cocoa and smoked notes. Distinguished texture with all the components exactly in place, perfectly integrated woods, elegant tannins, complex spreading extremely long finish. Delicious wine to enjoy on its own, or with noble roasts of matured beef and wild game in rich sauces, stoemp of root vegetables with black truffle, brightly spiced ragout of wild mushrooms. Decanter an hour in advance for up to 10 years. Serving temp.: 17°C.
