The nose is expressive, fruity and very pleasing with ripe/jammy fruits and blond tobacco notes. In mouth, sweet attack with dominant fresh fruits. Nice amplitude thanks to intense aromas, kept up with concentrated tannins which are well structured and integrated, not aggressive at all. A rich and silky unit. Sommelier advices : Best served at 18°C, and put in decanter 3 hours before tasting. Great companion for a beef rib or game. Wine for ageing to drink within 10 years.
