Even red colour. Intense and focused nose, fruit reminiscent of morello, cherry, blackcurrant and strawberry, other nuances like dried oregano, leather, finely integrated toasted oak, nut, tobacco, lead pencil, broth, blood pudding, mineral oil, hints of violet, blueberry and vanilla. Full bodied, concentrated, quite good acidity, dry, good tannic backbone, lively mouthfeel and a long finish. Mature, but fresher and more youthful than expected. I will wait about 5 years before opening the next bottle from my cellar. Classic style with a french touch(with 13% alcohol).
