FOOD MATCHING NOTE:

East meets west cuisine always works well, fine red meat examples such as, hibiscus-marinated leg of lamb, oriental lamb steaks, can be found, or a simple but hearty dish such as beef medallions in red wine sauce, work perfectly.

TASTING NOTE:

A fleshy and dense purple-colored 2009 exhibits abundant notes of creme de cassis, roasted espresso, chocolate, berry fruit and underling hints of high quality, unsmoked cigar tobacco. This seriously endowed, powerful, boisterous, muscular Pauillac should hit its prime between 2017 and 2035.
