It expresses notes of fresh bigarreau cherry, fresh morello cherry, strawberry, raspberry, wild blackberry, blueberry and cranberries, combined with fragrant notes of cornflower, wild rose, violet, and refreshing herbaceous aromas (wild mint, basil, rosemary, fresh tobacco) and a fine spiciness (cumin, nutmeg, licorice, coriander seeds), as well as a hint of cocoa, toasted almond and a touch of leather. The palate is juicy, fruity and finely spicy. It expresses notes of morello cherry, tangy bigarreau cherry, cranberries and bergamot with a slight bitterness, raspberry, crunchy strawberry and blueberry, combined with notes of nutmeg, liquorice, cumin and clove, as well as floral touches of dried rose, violet and cornflower. The finish is firm and expresses a tight tannin structure, good bitterness and salivating acidity. Good persistence in the mouth. The wine seems closed at the moment and needs time to open up.
