Ruby , with a ruby pink rim . Slightly cooler , tobacco , grafite edged Summer fruits, with red cherry and spicy blackberry, cassis . Blackcurrant , spicy red cherry , some grafite , tobacco hints . A little drier and more linear on the palate than the Lalande Borie , but also shorter and a little less complex on the medium minus finish . Drink now and over the next 5-8 years .

Heavy, dry. Plums at first, licorice at the end. Lots of tannins. Serve with something beefy. 1 hour+ in the decanter first.

Smells of big blackberry fruit, mild tobacco. High acid wine. Very soft tannins. Might need to sit longer/open up.
