It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy strawberry, small notes of small crushed berries associated with very fine touches of griotte, zan, spices and a discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers minerality, freshness, a fine acidulous frame as well as juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, juicy cassis, small notes of violet associated with very fine hints of wild strawberry, fresh griot as well as discreet hints of tea, mocha, toasted/oak and caramelized almond. Tannins are structuring and well-built. A very fine power and a hint of caramelization/toasted hazelnut on the persistence.
