Sainte Croix La Manuelle – Cuvée du Papet 2014 – Côtes de Provence

The nose is fruity and aromatic. It reveals notes of cassis and slight notes of blackberry, crushed raspberry associated with discreet hints of spices as well as an imperceptible hint of pepper. The palate is fruity, gourmand, juicy, well-balanced, suave and offers a beautiful juiciness, a beautiful fat, roundness as well as a slight acidity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed blackberry, cassis and slight hints of blueberry associated with hints of strawberry compote, toasted oak, chocolate and vanilla. Tannins are fine and very slightly dry. Good length. There is a slight hint of dark chocolate/cacao on the persistence.
