Deep ruby colors. The bouquet is ripe, despite the age it still shows a lot of fruity, primary aromas of ripe cherries. In the background are chocolate and mint. Nicely decorated. Dry in the mouth, maybe a little lacking in the middle stage, not a lot of tannins, but they are arranged. Mature. Nice, good merlot, compliments!
Pairing with food: venison, mutton, steak.
