The nose is aromatic and offers a small gourmandize as well as a fine freshness. It reveals notes of vanilla, cassis and small notes of ripe strawberry associated with fine touches of toasted hazelnut as well as very fine hints of spices and a very discreet hint of pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers juiciness as well as a mineral frame and juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, juicy/fresh small red berries and small notes of crunchy/juicy raspberry associated with a hint of flowers as well as very fine hints of racy minerality and a subtle hint of liquorice/chocolate. Tannins are very finely firm. Gourmandize on the finish. A very discreet hint of caramelized hazelnut as well as an imperceptible hint of toasted bread/roasted on the aftertaste.
