Château Roubine – Inspire 2015 – Cru Classé, Côtes de Provence

The nose is fruity, elegant, straight and offers a fine concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry, crushed wild strawberry and slight notes of red berries jam associated with hints of oleander, caramelized oak, sweet spices and a discreet hint of tonka bean (in background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a nice mineral frame, a good definition, a fine acidity, a good guideline, a fine tension and suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/crushed cassis, crushed blackberry and small notes of wild strawberry combined with a touch of small wild berries, garrigue / olive as well as a hint of vanilla and wood / chocolat. Tannins are fine and very slightly firm. Good length. There are an imperceptible hint of tonka bean and an imperceptible hint of gray pepper (in the background) on the retro.
