Vinson Denis & Fils – Cuvée Charles Joseph 2016 – Vinsobres

The nose is peppery, finely tight and offers a fine intensity. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of small wild berries, grey pepper, small notes of dry tobacco leaf associated with fine touches of cherry, wild strawberry as well as fine hints of cassis and spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, a fine tension, dynamism, minerality and a very fine creaminess. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, pulpy/juicy blackberry, small notes of wild raspberry associated with touches of small crushed red berries, grey pepper, dry mild tobacco, fine hints of spices and a discreet hint of garrigue (in the background). Good length.
