The palate is fruity, well-balanced, silky and offers a nice acid frame, minerality, juiciness, fleshiness as well as suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy blueberry, fleshy plum and touches of wild raspberry associated with a subtle hint of redcurrant, discreet hints of blond tobacco, cornflower, nutmeg as well as a subtle hint of sweet spices (in the background).
