"Medium carmine-garnet, wide variation, yellowing at the rim. On the nose a sweet note, fine creamy caramel notes, some plums, has a pleasant sweetness, some remaining tannins, good restraint, fresh in the finish, very youthful and present, still offers much drinking pleasure, delicate ripe Bordeaux."
