A wine to make the heart sing.
A lovely nose offering power, minerality, depth, intensity, complexity and a very fine grain of power. There are notes of zan, black tea and more slightly nutmeg, morello cherry combined with delicate touches of violet, tobacco as well as fine points of ripe violet plum, crunchy redcurrant and a subtle hint of almost lavender.
The palate is nicely fresh and offers power in delicacy, a nice powdery texture, a certain intensity in control, a mineral frame, complexity as well as a nice fruit (a fine point of over-ripeness but all in freshness). On the palate this wine expresses morello cherry, crunchy/fresh blackberry, fairly ripe (but fresh) wild strawberry and more slightly violet combined with hints of cocoa, lavender, tobacco leaf as well as fine dots of nutmeg, Bourbon vanilla and a discreet almost herbal hint (lavender, tea…). Nice sapidity and chewiness on the finish. The tannins are soft and gourmet.
