Deep ruby color; pleasant aromas of fruit (cherries, currants, raspberries) and wood. Ripe, mouth-coating tannins, due in part to aging in oak barrels, in part to the maturity of the grapes.
This Bourgogne is so well-balanced it can be enjoyed at present, but it could also be cellared for several years. Serve with red meats, pork and creamy cheeses.
