The nose is fruity, elegant and offers a fine richness, a small power as well as a fine intensity. It reveals notes of bright strawberry, creamy blackberryand small notes of pulpy cassis associated with touches of violet, liquorice as well as a cherry blossom, cardamom, a discreet hint of chocolate, saffron and a very discreet hint of tea. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral and offers a good definition, a good freshness, gourmandize, finesse of the grain as well as elegance and a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackberry, cassis and small notes of bright/fresh cherry associated with a touch of small red berries as well as fine hints of tonka bean, toasted, roasted hazelnut and a hint of vanilla. Good length. Tannins are well-built and racy.
