		<degustations>
			<degustation>A fine example of this vintage for late-maturing varieties : this wine is deeply coloured and expressive, with cool and floral notes (a hint of rose), menthol, followed by fresh dark fruits and peppercorns.</degustation>
			<degustation>On the palate it is harmonious, very supple and refreshing due to the liquorice.</degustation>
		</degustations>
		<conseils>
			<conseil>Serve at 16°C as the perfect accompaniment to a wild asparagus omelette.</conseil>
