On the palate, the wine is fleshy, fruity, even warming with a touch of macerated fruit. It expresses notes of red cherry in chocolate (with a hint of kirsch), morello cherry, fresh wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, red currant jelly, crushed raspberry and crème de cassis, combined with notes of minty chocolate, a touch of cinnamon, licorice, white pepper as well as slightly sweet floral notes (iris, peony),and a hint of smoke on the finish. The tannins have a fine texture, as well as good structure. The finish is persistent, gourmand and expresses notes of very ripe, even jammy, red fruits (griotte jam, fresh morello cherry) with a good level of acidity
