It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, small fleshy black fruitsand small notes of fleshy cherry associated with touches of crushed redcurrant, violet as well as fine hints of small blue fruits, zan, fresh tobacco, a very discreet hint of tonka bean and an imperceptible hint of bergamot. The palate is fruity, elegant, delicate, beautifully built, chiseled and offers a full of finesse/delicacy tension, an aerial side, a fine creaminess as well as a very beautiful balance, a fine acidulous frame and a justly controlled richness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of creamy cassis, pulpy blackberry and small notes of pulpy redcurrant associated with touches of violet, lilac as well as hints of creamy blue plum associated with hints of chocolate, caramelization, a subtle hint of toasted, nutmeg, a hint of green cardamom and a very discreet hint of coffee. Good length. Tannins are elegant and finely soft. Softness and a fine sapidity in the finish.
