This is a fine representative of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, fruity and slightly woody, with a pleasant toasty nuance. The attack on the palate is silky and delicate, well-balanced with a pretty note of red fruit and an elegant finish with a fruity character. Ideal with ceps à la bordelaise, but also a fine piece of red meat...
