Cave de Tain – Grand Classique 2018 – Saint-Joseph

The nose is fruity and offers power, a small tension and precision. It reveals notes of wild red berries and crushed blueberry associated with discreet hints of roasted, grilled, black olive as well as an imperceptible hint of olive tree and liquorice. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame as well as a good definition. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy bigarreau cherry, small crunchy red berries and small notes of blueberry associated with fine touches of violet, toasted, vanilla as well as a subtle hint of black olive and tobacco. Tannins are precise and structuring.
