The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers gourmandise, freshness, a good definition, juiciness, fine tension as well as a fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy / slightly acidulous cassis, pulpy / juicy small blue fruits and small notes of fleshy / juicy raspberry associated with small touches of violet, liquorice, nutmeg as well as very discreet hints of toasted / toasted almond. Tannins are elegant and well-built. A very fine chew and sapidity on the finish.
