Description

Appearance:
Garnet with a fading ruby rim; clear but showing signs of evolution. Light brick hues suggest peak maturity.

Nose:
Open and expressive. Ripe red cherries, dried raspberries, and fig notes mingle with aged characters: leather, sun-dried herbs, and a faint balsamic warmth. Subtle traces of peppercorn, dusty earth, and old wood lend complexity.

Palate:
Silky and mellow, with the soft grip of resolved tannins. Grenache lends sweet red fruit and a soft texture, while Syrah adds depth, spice, and a faint savoury note. Expect flavours of cherry compote, black olive tapenade, and worn leather, backed by a warming hint of alcohol typical of the hot 2003 vintage.

Finish:
Gently tapering with notes of dry herbs, liquorice, and baked fruit.

Food Pairing:
Great with roast pork, grilled Mediterranean vegetables, game pie, or a mature Comté. Best decanted gently before serving.
