Deep, dark red color with purple reflection. Slightly spicy nose with lots of dark fruits such as blackcurrants, blackberries and black plums. Notes of violets, licorice and Provencal herbs. Nice and full and juicy in the mouth with fine tannins. Its ripe character continues in the pleasant and long final.
Lamb in a stew, but also grilled or baked lamb, matured sirloin steak, fine game dishes and beef stew.
