A very aromatic bouquet blending fruity notes such as raspberry and blackcurrant, jammy fruits like plum and vanilla notes. The tannins are quite velvety, the mouth is round and well balanced. Long finish. A grand wine, almost crunchy, which will reward with a little time in the cellar.. FOOD PAIRING. Ideal with red meat and lamb. Perfect also with pork stew and hard cheeses such as Comte or Beaufort.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. An exceptional vintage for Bordeaux, accessible already, but capable of extended ageing.
