The nose is fruity, powerful, elegant, very finely tight and offers a beautiful finesse of the grain as well as a fine complexity.

The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, racy, aery and offers a good definition, power, minerality, a fine suavity, a beautiful delicacy, elegance, a beautiful acidulous frame as well as a good finesse of the grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy cherry, fleshy plum and small notes of fleshy/fresh raspberry associated with fine touches of juicy/fleshy blueberry, zan, toasted and a very discreet hint of mild tobacco (in the background). Tannins are fine, elegant and well-built. There is an imperceptible hint of chocolate/almond on the finish/persistence.
