Red bell pepper initially entice the nose, soft baking spices follow. As it opens, stewed plums evolve. Velvety plum dominates the palate with herbal undertones. Earthy enough for mushroom dishes, strong and bold enough for beef. Softly masculine and approachable. Tannins are very fine and the finish is very feminine. It simply disappears from the room without a goodbye.

Very classic. Initially prominent capsicum nose integrated and have lovely grip. Great delineation, cedary red fruit. I think I prefer Haut-Bailly younger but would gladly drink this any day.
