On the nose, distinguished, fine, fruity, offering power (in finesse and fullness), a very nice finesse in its richness and in its grain, an airy power, freshness, excellence as well as a nice depth and width of the aromatic palette.Notes of bright boysenberry, pulpy cassis and more lightly cornflower, violet, strawberry associated with touches of bourbon vanilla, lilac, saffron, star anise as well as discrete points of black tea and a subtle hint of hazelnut.The palate is fruity, elegant, delicate, powerful, nicely defined and offers depth, finesse, tension in delicacy, richness in subtlety/finesse, excellence, fullness, harmony, sapidity, energy as well as silkiness and an airy character in the balances. Nice mid-palate with an aspect of multi – layering. On the palate, expressing notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, bright raspberry and more lightly bright cassis combined with touches of bright red currants, hints of pulpy/juicy blueberry, cornflower/lily, star anise as well as discreet hints of tonka bean, chocolate, toasted hazelnut and a subtle touch of black tea. The tannins are elegant, soft and polished. Presence of an imperceptible hint of Bourbon vanilla pod, white flowers and toast on the finish/persistence. A very nice persistence. A wine filled with a classical style in its noblest sense. Congratulations!
