The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers good definition, tension, a small straightness, a small suavity as well as a good mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bigarreau cherry, small wild berries and small notes of cassis associated with small touches of crunchy red fruits, scrubland / olive tree as well as very discreet hints of tonka bean, toasted and cardamom. Tannins are well-built and supple. Good length.
