Firm, transparent, and quite deep aroma of predominantly black berries and a little bit of cherries with fine herbal-floral aromas, a hint of leather, meat juice, top-quality dark tobacco, and delicate smoky notes. Ripe, quite dense, juicy fruit with some smoky-roasted and nutty barrel tones, a bit of bite and youthful, yet ripe and tender tannins, persistent on the palate, still hardly developed, felt firm, with inner strength and elegance at the same time, good depth, in the background a bit of cigar tobacco and ash, a touch of pepper, distinctly reminiscent of smoked salt mineral tones, very good, firm finish.
