Fest and deep, complex, dark scent of ripe black and red berries with top-notch tobacco notes, tobacco, a bit of leather, dried flowers, porcini mushrooms, foliage, fine etheric notes, and a hint of malt. Very concentrated, yet surprisingly fresh dark fruit, slightly coffee-roasted wood, smoky and tobacco notes, again dried flowers in the background, herbal but also peppery etheric notes, present, ripe, fine tannins, a lot of power but no heaviness, meaty tones in the background, a bit of cigar ash and bittersweet chocolate, distinct minerality, great depth, long, dense, juicy finish with complex spice, tension, and plenty of emphasis.
