Dense and deeper, very concentrated, somewhat smoky and dried herbal to herbal and tobacco-like scent of small black berries with hints reminiscent of dried and grilled meat, floral nuances, and a touch of underbrush. Concentrated, rather warm, very firm fruit, smoky and roasted as well as tobacco-like wood notes, present, fine sandy, still slightly drying tannins, peppery-ethereal spice on the palate, chalky notes and a lot of salt, again grilled and dried meat in the background, a lot of power, a little Mediterranean spice, a hint of tomato paste and black olives, also oregano, deep and complex, resinous traces, firm core, very good to long, multi-layered finish with warmth, smoky spice, and grip. Needs to mature.
