To the eye: limpid and garnet-colored, darkened by purple tints. The legs run slowly and cling to the glass. To the nose: the penetrating bouquet offers up a festival of aromas including jammy red fruits, vanilla pods, pepper and freshly-milled nutmeg. Emblematic notes of the garrigue heath mingle with this supremely harmonious ensemble. To the Palate: A magnificent balance is achieved between the superb and savory tannins and the fatness and elegance of the mouth. The wine explodes on the palate and finishes at length with notes of crushed almonds.
An ample wine offering much savoriness and distinction. Perfect with a rocket and goat's cheese salad, a breast of lamb, a carpaccio of beef, a charlotte of courgettes or assorted tempura. A wine for laying down. In my opinion it will retain its appeal for 7 years or more.
