Domaine de Sainte Croix – Clos Manuelle 2014 – Côtes de Provence

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of red berries, flowers (iris, lilac) and slight notes of juicy blackberry associated with a hints of plum as well as discreet notes of grove, spices and a hint of Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, suave, well-balanced and offers fat, a slight acid frame as well as juiciness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, cassis and slight notes of plum associated with discreet hints of fresh strawberry, slight hints of toasted oak, liquorice, graphite (very discreet), Tonka bean and a discreet hint of coffee on the finish. Tannins are fine and very slightly dry and young. Good length.
