Smoky dark tones as coffee beans, bacon, meat, lemon zest, the 'icing' on the cake and above it all a "weed" smell hanging - so typical of CR. Well lineated and very elegant on the palate. Finishing with chocolate, meat and roasted coffee beans. Great wine.

At Restaurant La Pyramide in Vienne. Pale colour. Beautiful flowers in the bouquet and palate. Powerful wine, well delineated.

Dark colour. Full bodied, sweet chocolate, kirsch and cake tones in the nose and palate. Attractive wine. Needs some more time.
