Deep garnet colored with a remaining hint of purple, the 2007 LMV Salon is provocatively scented of crème de cassis, baked plums and black cherry preserves with hints of cigar box, pencil lead, dried Provence herbs, Indian spices and smoked meats. Full-bodied, rich and boldly fruited, the palate is still wonderfully youthful yet just starting to blossom out into an array of perfumed and spicy layers, structured with velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic freshness.
