Editor note: Translate to English Gereifter, herber, deutlich getrocknet-vegetabiler sowie an geschmorten Paprika erinnernder Duft nach teils angetrockneten schwarzen Beeren mit deutlichen Rosmarintönen, etwas Lakritz und Tabak. Klare, fest gewirkte Frucht im Mund, etwas Bitterschokolade und geschmorter Paprika und wieder auch an Provencekräuter, vor allem Rosmarin erinnernde Töne, insgesamt eher dunkle Aromatik, etwas Kandis, fester Bau, leicht rauchig und wieder bitterlich-kräuterig im sehr guten Abgang.
