The wine has a deep ruby color. The nose offers density and a fleshy fruitiness, highlighted by a savoury spiciness. It expresses notes of wild blackberry, morello cherry, red cherry jam, crushed blackcurrant (even crème de cassis), raspberry jam and crushed wild strawberry, combined with a hint of prunes. On the second nose, we find elegant and refined herbaceous and floral notes – peppermint, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, fresh rose, iris and peony, as well as a fine spiciness (liquorice, crushed coriander seeds, dried vanilla, white pepper, cinnamon in the background) and torrefaction (toasted hazelnut, toasted coconut in the background). The palate is generous, full and sapid. It expresses notes of very ripe morello cherry, wild blackberry, red cherry jam, crushed wild strawberry, black plum, crème de cassis and raspberry coulis, combined with notes of prunes in chocolate, dark chocolate, sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg), torrefaction (coffee, toasted hazelnut, toasted wood), as well as a fresh touch of herbs and flowers (roasted thyme and rosemary, iris, peony) . The tannins are silky and sapid, with a fine, powdery grain. The finish is persistent, enveloping, chocolatey and gourmand, refreshed by a salivating acidity. A fleshy and concentrated wine, with complexity, power and freshness, all in balance.
