The wine hasa brilliant ruby color, of medium intensity. The nose is warming and aromatic. It expresses notes of morello cherry, red cherry, ripe red currants, sweet wild strawberry, blueberry jam, combined with notes of dark chocolate with mint, menthol, licorice, and a slight touch of toast (even caramel), afine minerality (chalk, wet stone), as well as notes of flowers (violet, cornflower, a touch of iris), dried grass, bay leaf and cinnamon in the background. On the palate, the wine is full, textured and silky, with acertain sweetness, given by the notes of sweet spices (licorice, cinnamon, cloves), caramel, chocolate, and very ripe fruit, even roasted (fresh morello cherry and jam, roasted red cherry, blueberry jam, blackplum, blackberry), slightly sweet floral notes (iris, fresh rose) as well as a touch of freshness offered by the notes of dried mint, cut rosemary and bay leaf. The acidity is salivating and lively. The tannins are well structured, powerful, but silky. Good length, concentration and gourmandise.
