• Served with a veal stew, various vegetables and broccoli soup

He says :           4.5 stars

• To start, it is very round, fresh and incredibly smooth
• Finish is full-bodied and dry, with tannins that are pretty powerful but that have aged enough.
• Very long finish (even more as it is aerated) and very strong
• Strong taste of red fruits, blackberries, cherries
• Aroma is chocolatey, and of raspberries
• There's a touch of jam towards the end, strawberry? and black currant too
• Very good wine, intense, and of very good quality
• Complex
• Not exactly my taste so I wouldn't buy it again but I am not disappointed at all

She says :           4.5 stars

• This wine has the acidity of a cherry tomato, very sweet like jam
• Aroma of black currant
• Very round on the palate
• Persistent finish
• Taste of sweet cherries
• Too acidic and heavy for my taste but very interesting & complex
