Rich ruby red with purple reflections. Intensive nose. Small, black berries, a little cassis, «Mon Chéri», seductive roasted notes. Dense and multi-layered. Strong and rich on the palate with a clear structure. Again plenty of black fruit, elegant wood, coffee and dark chocolate. A densely woven tannin framework and a juicy acidity give this wine plenty of strength and depth. The finish is persistently aromatic and very harmonious.
