The nose is open, fine and elegant: some slight hints of wood (vanilla, smokiness) and a lot of red fruit (raspberry). The palate is equally fine and elegant, with lots of latent strength; the finish is at the same time soft and complex and above all very long. An attractive wine, which charmed us throughout the period of maturation in oak for the wines of this vintage (which weren't all easy) and whose enchanting character can be found in the bottle.
