In a few words ...
Deep, intense red color. The nose is intense, with a subtle blend of red fruits, marked by a lovely woodiness that gives way to denser aromas of roasting and lightly spicy notes. The palate is well structured, with good tannic and velvety expression, mixed with a multitude of flavors with notes of ripe fruit and toasty aromas. A long, silky finish reveals fine balance and a good expression of terroir.
"The discreet bouquet opens on aeration with fine notes of menthol, blackberry and toasted almond. The palate is elegant, round and fruity, underlined by a fine vanilla line and backed by supple, mellow tannins. A rather amiable wine, which can be enjoyed in its youth, but which won't mind ageing a little".
