The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-structured, relatively powerful, a bit aerial and offers a beautiful finesse, a nice acid frame, a beautiful harmony, fat, a beautiful freshness, precision, tension, minerality and a beautiful matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, cassis jelly and touches of raspberry, red cherry associated with small touches of fresh fruit as well as fine notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak and discreet hints of licorice.
