The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, suavity, fullness, a certain suavity, precision, a little tension, freshness and energy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/flavoured blackcurrant, pulpy/juicy cherry and more lightly lilac/cherry blossom combined with hints of bright red berries as well as discreet hints of green cardamom, toasted/dried almond, a subtle hint of fresh blond tobacco and a discreet hint of bergamot.
