mid-palate

The mid-palate has a light creaminess to it, which gives way to medium-long, citrusy finish with hints of minerals.

I love the flavorful, rich mid-palate on this wine, with flavors in line with the nose.

This wine is impeccably balanced -- creamy on the mid-palate yet featuring lively acidity.

The flavors closely match the nose -- plums, cherries and spice -- with a minerally, meaty note that appears right after the sweet cherry/raspberry mid-palate and carries through to the medium finish where just a little raw oak creeps in with all that spice.

But the mid-palate is just a bit flat, and would be almost flabby if not for decent acidity that keeps it near-clean.

The sweet vanilla cran-cherry flavors come back on the mid-palate and contnue through a medium-long finish, where they are joined by dusty earthy and cocoa powder flavors.
