The nose is quite ripe, with darkness and a certain depth. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, juniper berries and small notes of aromatic grilled herbs, associated with fine touches of roasted fruit, as well as a fine hints of licorice and camphor. The palate is fruity, with juiciness, suavity, minerality and a mineral frame. It expresses notes of pulpy blackberry, morello cherry and small notes of roasted-elegant raspberry, associated with a touch of crushed blueberry as well as a hints of Mediterranean roast, a fine hint of almost sage in the background and licorice stick. Tannins are mellow. Good length with freshness.
