A classic pairing with cassoulet and one of those awesome situations where the wine seemed better by the meal than on its own. Dark fruited and some licorice-like qualities. Fantastic acidity cuts through the heft of the meal. Loved this pairing!

2010 vintage. Good tannins, balanced by blackberries, plums and tobacco. Built for the long haul, juicy yet structured for aging.

Awesome food wine. Balanced tannin, crème de cassis, candied plum. Dusty and juicy. Would cellar for a few more years easily

Strong staying power. Good with varied salumi and cheese over three days. Soft on the tannins, but holding strong.
