The nose is fruity and offers a beautiful fleshiness of the fruit, gourmandize and a fine richness. It reveals notes of fleshy/pulpy raspberry, red berriesand small notes of blackberry associated with touches of fleshy/pulpy cassis as well as a hint of griotte, cornflower, liquorice as well as discreet hints of sweet spices and a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, a small fleshiness, a good guideline and a fine freshness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fleshy blackberry, fleshy strawberry and small notes of violet plum associated with touches of cassis, raspberry as well as hints of mocha, dark chocolate, mild tobacco, cardamom, toasted hazelnut and vanilla. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
