The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, racy, precise and offers a beautiful definition, a fine roundness, a beautiful finesse of the grain, tension as well as a small silkyness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cassis, blackberry, juicy / ripe black berries and small notes of wild strawberry, ripe / juicy red berries associated with subtle touches of fleshy fruits, fine toasted touches, vanilla / oak, almond as well as discreet touches of sweet spices and a very discreet hint of iodine minerality.
