The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, suavity, a mineral frame, good definition, a certain gourmandise, accuracy. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, violet and more slightly – bright purple plum, associated with touches of almost roasted small red fruits, as well as hints of star anise, sage and a subtle floral and almost aromatic herb hint in the background.
