The nose is fruity, well-balanced and offers concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry and cassis / wild red berries associated with small notes of gray pepper, blueberry as well as discreet hints of flowers / violet and spices. The palate is fruity, mineral, well-balanced, (very) slightly tight and offers tension, a good definition, a beautiful texture, a fine density, freshness as well as an acid frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe / juicy red fruits and red berries associated with small notes of blueberry, flowers, a very discreet touch of gray pepper as well as subtle hints of spices, racy minerality and very discreet hints of chocolate. Tannins are a bit firm. Good length.
