A rush of cherry, red plum, espresso, sweet spice and flowers makes a strong first impression. Plump, juicy and beautifully resonant in the glass, the 2016 hits all the right notes. Dense and silky with a polished and refined tannin backbone. Medium body, beautiful fruit and a soft-textured finish.
Culinary Recommendation: To serve 14 C - 16 C. Good match with meats in sauce, a leg of lamb à la provençale, a duck terrine, grilled fish, a curry or a piece of Brie or chocolate at the end of the meal.
