The color is a deep garnet, slightly brick-red at the edges. The nose is a festival: black truffle, damp earth, candied cherry, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is velvet incarnate. The tannins are melted, the texture is fleshy yet ethereal, finishing with a saline and spicy length characteristic of great mature Pomerols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTournedos Rossini (foie gras and truffle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted pigeon with French-style peas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRisotto with porcini mushrooms and aged Parmesan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn aged Gouda or a well-ripened Brie de Meaux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eServing Suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 17°C (63°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAeration: Decant 1 hour before serving.
