Aromas consist of black cherry, blackberry compote, raspberry jam, red currant, sage, black pepper, and bittersweet chocolate. Raspberry jam and chocolate covered cranberry dominate the flavors. Body is medium weight, held together with moderate acidity, and layers of silky tannins. Finish is long with lingering sweet oak spice flavors. What they eat in the south of France. Braised rabbit and roasted vegetables over creamy polenta with Gruyère cheese. If you don’t feel like cooking, visit your local butcher and load up on charcuterie. Leave the decadence of Foie Gras for dessert whites, and stick more to saucisson, boudin noir, and duck rillette.
