On the palate, the wine offers a lot of gourmandise, roundness and richness. It expresses juicy, ripe and slightly jammy fruit notes: wild strawberry, wild blackberry, Morello cherry and fresh Morello cherry jam, raspberry coulis, red currant and cranberry jam. There is also fresh peppermint, an elegant floral touch (fresh blueberry, rose petals, lily) and spicy, savoury notes on the finish (toast, roasted meat, clove, nutmeg).

The finish is persistent, round and gourmet, on the fruit, which together with the lively acidity gives the wine a nice freshness and a good ageing potential.
