Stunning food at L’Absinthe and solid wine. Deep mix of garnet and ruby red with lighter edges. Nice amount of red and dark plums, leather, tobacco leaves and some damp earth on the nose. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and rounded with great acidity. Similar notes on the palate with some more red berries, a touch herbal and dark spices. Medium plus to full bodied and lengthy finish.
