The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, minerality, a tangy frame, freshness, fine tension, accuracy, a nice definition, all in elegance, a sense of detail and a nice juicy character. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, juicy/fleshy cherry, and more lightly – almost roasted-juicy berries, associated with a touch of bright berries, juicy/pulpy cassis, as well as hints of infusion, toast and a discreet hint of tonka bean and fresh coffee and toasted almond.
