The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, freshness, a good definition, fine tension as well as fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy cherry, crunchy wild berries and small notes of crunchy cassis associated with fine touches of faded violet, faded cornflower, tobacco as well as discreet hints of spices. Good length.
