Monaco – Le Rocher 2014

Côtes de Provence

-

The nose is fruity and offers power and concentrat­ion. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, crushed blackberry, small notes of black cherry and touches of crushed strawberry combined with a touch of cornflower, licorice, sweet spices, a very discreet hint of laurel as well as an impercepti­ble hint of Sichuan pepper and caramelize­d oak. The mouth is mineral, fruity, juicy, well-balanced, a bit gourmande and offers fluidity, suavity, a fine tension, a fine concentrat­ion, freshness as well as a fine straightne­ss. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of ripe cherry, crushed cassis and crushed blackberry combined with small touches of crushed / fleshy strawberry, colas, black olives and small toasted touches / caramelize­d oak and a discreet hint of vanilla. Tannins are a bit firm.
