A French classic! This is a deep, dark red in the glass. The nose has wonderful aromas of spices and dark, mature fruits. The palate shows rounded tannins with powerful complexity. A rich unctuous wine with notes of mature plums, hazelnuts and red fruits. This is a very rich wine full of harmony and balance.
