The mouth is beautifully fresh /juicy, elegant, mineral and offers a beautiful velvetiness, a certain level of richness and a good definition. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/ crushed cherries, small red currants and small notes of plum, violet associated with touches of pistil of lily, mild spices, sense of the place and a subtle hint of toasted almond. Good length and persistence.
