Warm, slightly roasted, dried vegetal and tobacco notes on the nose, ripe black and a few red berries, some smoke and candied nuts. Ripe, warm, partly preserved, sweetish fruit, smoky and somewhat roasted, slightly bitterish wood spice, somewhat sandy, yet ripe tannins, only a hint of drying, candy tones in the background, not very deep, good, sweetish and very slightly stewed on the one hand and a little sooty-bitterish on the other.
