2021 Cabernet Cortis, Mountain country Austria, Austria

Clear aroma of predominantly dark berries and a little cherry with restrained, slightly tobacco barrel notes, floral traces and a hint of mint. Partly preserved, warm dark fruit, slightly bitter chocolate notes, a little pepper and a hint of mint, slight sweetness, relatively friable, ripe tannin, good to very good, again a little warm finish with sooty hints.
