Château Pas du Cerf – Mar Lise 2009 – Côtes de Provence

The nose is fruity, aromatic, relatively full and offers a slight intensity. It reveals notes of blackberry cream, flowers and slight hints of plum, blueberry associated with hints of toasted oak, a very discreet hint of butter, vanilla as well as very slight hints of Sichuan pepper and an imperceptible hint of caramelization. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, nicely defined and offers a beautiful juicy frame, black cherry, cassis and slight hints of plum, raspberry associated with hints of liquorice, woody chocolate and a discreet hint of vanilla. Good length. There is a very discreet hint of caramelization on the persistence.
