The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is fragrant, gourmand, with a certain density. It expresses notes of crushed black plum, morello cherry, tart red cherry and red currant, combined with hints of vanilla in the background, liquorice, peppermint, a hint of blackcurrant leaf in the background, as well as toasted wood, toasted hazelnut and roasted aromatic herbs, as well as cornflower and fresh rose in the background. The palate is straight, tight, with a firm tannin structure, even with a certain astringency. On the attack, we find notes of bird cherry, cranberry, tart red cherry, which are complemented by a sappy hint of fresh wood, notes of blackcurrant, blackcurrant leaf, liquorice and white pepper. The finish offers salivating acidity, roasted and toasted notes, as well as a hint of chocolate on the persistence.
