The palate is fruity, elegant, silky, suave, relatively gourmand, slightly aerial and offers a beautiful definition, a racy minerality, tension, a good volume, harmony, fat, a nice softness and delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry and ripe strawberry associated with fine notes of raspberry, cherry, cassis as well as slight hints of spices, shale, a very discreet notes of flowers (on the mid palate), slight touches of blackberry cream and mocha on the finish.
