The palate is mineral, racy and offers tension,a good finesse of the construction, juiciness, freshness as well as a small almost aerial side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, juicy/fresh blackberry, small notes of crushed raspberry associated with touches of violet, a hint of crushed plum, fine hints of fresh liquorice, racy minerality, chocollate as well as a very discreet hint of camphore and an imperceptible hint of cuben pepper (in the backgound).
