December 26, 2013 - Presents an intense purple dress. The nose is intense, and a finesse dominated by raspberries. However, its wooded side is very marked. The palate follows the nose, opulent and well balanced. The tannins are present but not aggressive. Concentrated and long on the palate, still benefit from a few years old. Fine wine, I love. Drink between 2015 and 2025. Deep purplish with an intense but elegant nose, surrounded by raspberries. Quite woody, rich on the palate, well balanced, with a long finish. Still young, Will gain with age.
