The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/mineral frame, a certain gourmandize, a fine richness, concentration and a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cassis cream, fleshy/crushed blackberry, small notes of crushed strawberry associated with touches of chocolate, violet, cornflower as well as hints of nutmeg, cardamom and crushed almond. Good length.
