The nose is fruity, it offers aromatic depth, good definition, fine aromatic intensity, lovely finesse of grain and harmony. It reveals notes of boysenberry, fresh cassis and small notes of violet, associated with touches of crunchy violet plum, fresh spices, pulpy cherry, as well as fine hints of bergamot and discreet hints of sweet spices. The palate is nicely fruity, fresh, mineral, it offers a little tension, precision, energy, a lovely sappy character and a discreet saline character. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, juicy/fresh raspberry and small notes of cornflower, combined with touches of lilac, nutmeg, a hint of tonka bean, as well as fine touches of toasted and toasted hazelnut/toasted almond. Subtle chewiness on the finish. The tannins are finely mellow and will benefit from polishing.
