Medium red. Very ripe aromas of black cherry and plum, with low tones of smoked meat and humus. Then a bit higher-pitched in the mouth, with sweet but minerally flavors and a reasonably light touch for the year. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and persistent flavors of dark fruits, minerals and nutty oak. This wine has a rather high pH, notes Liger-Belair, but then it's always the highest in the cellar.
