Editor note: Translate to English Herber getrocknet-pflanzlicher bis kräuteriger Duft mit Aromen eingemachter gelber Früchte, erdigen Anklängen und einem Hauch Tabak. Reife, schmelzige und fast ein wenig ölige Frucht im Mund, herbe Kräuterwürze und erdige Mineralik, wieder eine Spur Tabak, sehr feine Säure, nachhaltig und schmelzig am Gaumen, etwas Kandis, gewisse Wärme, aber auch kühle Elemente, geschmeidiger Stil, sehr guter Abgang.
