Deep brown colour. Intense aromatic bouquet reminiscent of blackcurrants, berriesof other little red and black fruits and the animal smells. Powerful mouth, mingling a great smootness and a high level of acidity with the tannins. The powerful flavour and perfumes of this wine require quite elaborate and string-tasting food: mutton leg, beef bourguignon, jugged game, rooster in wine, game pates, strong cheeses.
