The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a good definition, suavity, a small tension, a beautiful mineral frame On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, pulpy cassis and small notes of ripe raspberry associated with touches of zan, chocolate as well as fine hints of vanilla, violet and hazelnut. Good length. A wine on the fruit and gourmandize.
