On the palate it is mineral, fruity, balanced and offers a tangy frame, juiciness, a beautiful structure, a nice tannic structure, fat / roundness, good definition as well as acidity. This wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy raspberry, fairly ripe redcurrants and more lightly violet associated with touches of tangy cassis as well as hints of nutmeg, humus and a subtle hint of pepper. Tannins are fine and finely dusty. Good length.
