That special kind of wine that can display both elegance and power. Deep and perfumed, blackberry, black olive, hints of black licorice and cracked black pepper. Finishes superbly long and elegant. Shows itself best after 2 hour decant.

Medium ruby , quite wide medium ruby garnet rim . This is quite aromatic , with earthy sous bois , violets , black pepper , garrigue . On the palate quite elegant and dark fruited , bright acidity and quite strict tannins . Good cassis, blackberry , menthol touches , sous bois , grafite finish . This is ready and drinking well but will probably continue at this level for another 5-10 years or so. At Drouant Restaurant, Paris .
