The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition, a beautiful acidulous frame, a racy minerality, a captivating side (as a perfume), a beautiful texture as well as a beautifully fine and very slightly tight grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, violet and small notes of crushed cassis, sour cherry, blue fruits associated with subtle toasted hints / caramelization, almond and chocolate. Tannins are fine and elegant. Very discreet chew on the finish. Beautiful gourmandise.
