Translate to English Gereifter, nussiger und holzwürziger Duft nach eingemachten, überwiegend dunklen Beeren mit röstigen und schokoladigen Aromen sowie ein wenig getrockneten Tomaten. Kräftig im Mund, sehr reife, etwas kompottige Frucht, viel Schmelz, schokoladiges und kandiert-nussiges Holz, feinsandiges Tannin, nachhaltig, eher warm am Gaumen, relativ weich, aber nicht ganz ohne Biss, etwas Tiefe, sehr guter, süßlich-schmelziger und recht saftiger Abgang. War derzeit wegweisend und überzeugt auch heute noch.
