"The nose reveals notes of red fruit and leather combined with touches of cassis, slight notes of undergrowth as well as a few slight oaky notes. The palate is fruity, fat, round, relatively fresh and quite ample. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of cherry cream, raspberry cream and slight notes of blackberry associated with slight notes of spices, Zan as well as discreet notes of chocolate and mushroom. Tannins are fine, quite elegant but still young. Good length."
