The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness and a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy/fleshy cassis, small notes of small crushed red berries associated with touches of iris, fresh violet as well as fine hints of liquorice, nutmeg, toasted and very fine hints of sweet spices. A subtle varietal hint on the finish (very finely tight). Tannins are very discreetly marked.
