Appearance: Dark
red.
Aroma:
Tobacco, cocoa, oak, plum, rose.
Palate: Fine but
somewhat dense with medium-full bodied. Velvety tannins. Earthy. Dark cherry and
bitter chocolate. Complex to the end.
Gear towards modern style but still feminine / elegant
characters of Margaux. Delicious indeed. Ready now and good for another decade.
Lamb shank to couple and you are good to go. Salute!!!
