2017 Mitterberg IGT "Kålch", Alto Adige, Italy

Slightly smoky and tobacco aroma of blackcurrants with red berry hints, a little oregano and dried tomatoes, iodine, leather and cold smoke. Dark fruit with bitter, smoky-roasty, also somewhat ashy wood spice, coffee grounds and a little bitter chocolate, slightly sandy, at the same time rather friable tannin, certain persistence, a lot of alcohol, ethereal notes in the background, some acid bite, earthy and juniper tones, in addition dry herbs, not eternally deep, also in the finish alcohol powerful, chocolaty-woody and slightly bitter.
