Appearance : Dark deep red. Great color stability through the years. Nose : Elegant intensity and a range of perfumed aromas that blossom slowly as the wine opens in the glass, including wild flowers, violets, sweet cinnamon and very well-integrated oak. Palate : Velvety mouth-feel coming from the round tannins. Well structured, balanced with soft red fruits, vanilla and toasted bread. Notes of orange peel bitterness announce an elegant, long finish.
