Mas des Brousses – Mataro 2018 – Terrasses du Larzac

The nose is elegant and offers intensity, concentration (full of control/justness), a beautiful fine grain as well as a certain richness (full of finesse). It reveals notes of blackberry, small wild black fruits, small notes of black plum associated with a touch of small red fruits, incense, black pepper, fine hints of sense of the place, black olive, cardamom, a discreet hint of dry tobacco and an imperceptible hint of clove. The palate is fruity, mineral, racy and offers a beautiful suavity, freshness, finesse, a beautiful guideline as well as a beautiful finely acidulous frame and a ripe/pulpy/acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/acidulous cherry, Boysen berry, small notes of fleshy wild raspberry associated with small touches of fresh/juicy violet plum, violet, lily as well as fine hints of sense of the place, a racy minerality, graphite, a subtle hint of toasted/grilled oak, a very discreet hint of roasted and an imperceptible hint of laurel (in the background). A very fine hint of liquorice on the persistence. Good length.
