Clear, rather tart black berry flavour with a hint of cherries, leaves and Mediterranean herbs, paprika and tomato paste. Ripe, juicy, warm fruit with a certain acid bite and present, ripe tannins, slightly smoky and peppery nuances, Mediterranean herbs, paprika again on the palate, some tomato essence, persistent and powerful, chalky-salty in the background, peppery-ethereal spice, also has freshness despite its power, still appears young, very good, taut, juicy and somewhat Mediterranean-spicy finish.

Hat Zeit.
