Tasting Notes

The nose is aromatic, concentrated and offers power. Notes of cassis, blackberry and small notes of liquorice associated with touches of strawberry, small berries as well as touches of flowers, olive tree, racy minerality, mocha, spices, Ceylon tea and Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers juiciness, tension, an acidulous frame as well as a small minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, wild cassis and small notes of strawberry, black cherry associated with touches of flowers, olive, fresh blueberry and tonka bean, as well as very discreet toasted hints and an imperceptible hint of Sichuan pepper in the background. Tannins are fine and a bit dry. Good persistence with notes of tonka bean and a very discreet hint of caramelization.
