Somewhat planty to ethereal-herbal, nutty and slightly spicy aroma of black berries with slightly smoky hints as well as a hint of Amarena cherries. Clear, quite tight, juicy, tart fruit with nutty wood tones, lively acidity, fine sandy, a little drying tannin, currant leaves and citrus zest in the background, salty tones, also pepper, good to very good finish with bite.
