The color is a medium ruby with amber at the edge. The nose offers strong aromas of herbs, spicy oak, and red fruits. Medium-bodied and shallow, this soft wine is frightfully overpriced in this vintage.
Looks rather mature, with hints of garnet on the rim, but the aromas of tobacco, truffles and earth are decadent. Full-bodied, with rich, opulent flavors and a lovely ripe finish. Like an autumn day.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
