The nose is fruity and offers brightness, a good definition, a slight straightness, and slight hints of spices. There are notes of Boysen blackberry, morello cherry and small notes of violet associated with touches of pulpy cassis as well as discreet hints of small red berries and a subtle hint of blond tabaco, cardamom and licorice. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, a beautiful definition, a fine powdery grain, deepness and a certain gourmandise, precision, and a straight grain. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy/ pulpy blackberry, pulpy cassis and small notes of bright small red berries associated with touches of pulpy plum, violet as well as vanilla hints, badian and sweet spices. Good length with a subtle smooth and a discreet firmness at the same time on the persistence.
