The nose is fruity, pure and offers a fine richness. There are notes of Boysenberry, cassis and small notes of plum associated with small touches of mocha, cardamom, a fine touch of crushed cherry as well as discreet hints of local grove, a subtle hint of pepper and olive tree. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy / acidulous frame, minerality, tension, a fine straightness as well as a small freshness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy / bright blackberry, juicy / bright raspberry and small notes of juicy / bright plum associated with small touches of violet, mocha, racy minerality, discreet hints of local grove as well as subtle hints of toasted almonds, hazelnuts and an imperceptible hint of caramelization. Tannins are elegant, precise and well-built. Sapidity on the finish.
