The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, freshness, concentration, a small deepness as well as power. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright griotte cherry, bright cassis and small notes of quite ripe wild blackberry associated with touches of wild strawberry, violet, lilac as well as hints of racy minerality, a subtle hint of Badiane and clove. Good length. Tannins are precise, very finely firm and well-built.
