The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers good definition, juiciness, tension, finesse, an acid frame as well as a beautifully fine and slightly tight grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe red berries, ripe plum and small notes of raspberry associated with touches of cassis, plum, crunchy strawberry as well as slight hints of flowers, licorice, praline, tobacco, cocoa and oak.
